Donald Trump's private jet made an emergency landing in Nashville Wednesday afternoon after the pilot reported engine problems, officials said.
The Boeing 757 landed in Nashville at 4:40 p.m., the Federal Aviation Administration said.
Trump eventually made it to the event he was attending. It was unclear how he got there.
The FAA is investigating the incident.

The poster was commenting on all the jokes which were immediately throw out.
The man has received death threats from mass murdering billionaire drug kingpins, ISIS, key democrats, republicans, and not doubt hundreds of other lower level threats.
This could be something real, or could have been something routine or benign. I don't think anyone knows for sure at this point.
Agreed.
That plane is designed to fly 24/7 for mos at a time.
The 757 has been a Boeing workhorse. They are amazing Aircraft.
Trump’s Plane is equipped with updated Rolls Royce Engines which is one of the reasons he purchased that particular Jet. I believe Paul Allen of Microsoft was the previous owner.
Could be a simple issue like a Generator malfunction. Didn’t see that the Plane lost Power in one Engine, but it can easily fly on only one Engine if necessary.
That being said, any issue is serious when your pushing tons of Aluminum through the Sky. Gravity is a bitch.
And Cruz is getting deranged. It is sad to see. I liked the guy, but something feels odd now and I am despising this race.
LOL I find them a little obnoxious too.
I stand by my statement.
Truth comes in jest.
you wouldn’t know evil if you met her on the elevator
Good post.
My SIL is an engineer at Rolls I’ll have to tell him.
I said just yesterday he needs to be very careful about his plane. Hope his has very well paid security and crew around them 24/7.
I would expect Donald Trump has a reserve aircraft availabe at a moments notice, a Gulfstream or Citation.
Agree
Something is very off with the Cruz campaign. Sarah Palin must have had a reason to endorse Trump over Cruz. She must have experienced something that exposed the supposed nastiness of Cruz operatives.
She must know something about the under belly of the Cruz campaign. Same with Mike Huckabee. He knows something about Cruz and his campaign that the general public does not know. Agree that his operatives post on free republic. They posts are usually pretty obvious compared to others.
Thanks for that info...had to be concerning while in the air.....I would have been! Does the age of this have anything to do with it????
Good Lord, this thread is mild compared to some our stress relief threads.
Wasn’t there a Cruz Supporter Opus a few days ago saying that Trump Supporters should burn in Hell?
Man oh man, at this rate we won’t have any energy left to fight off the DemoncRats in the General.
I don't know...this sounds less like "fact" to me and more like a hate filled rant/screed:
"You people are scum. Pond scum looks down at you. Snakes bellies are too high to reach. You pro Cruz people here.... There is a special place in hell for you"
I would not get on an elevator with Hillary!
You are bringing a lot of hateful crap here so maybe you should take your own advice.
Don’t worry, the Secret Service and Trump’s Private Security guys don’t let anyone near that Plane that isn’t supposed to be there.
