Vice President Kamala Harris was forced to switch planes on her return trip from Europe on Saturday due to technical issues on Air Force Two.
Harris boarded a C-17 support plane Saturday afternoon following her speech at the Munich Security Conference in Germany.
"Due to maintenance difficulties, the VP and the traveling party will depart Munich to Washington, D.C. on a back-up aircraft," a White House official told reporters.

Perfect....Diversity and Equity in REAL life. Not all of us get to fly in Air Force Two but many have flown the C-17.....DC-3, etc.
Then she repeated herself, for clarity.
I hope Willie’s consort rode with the cargo.

Well, now she’s been to Europe. How about the border, then?
It was a weird experience for the crew, as first they were told this trip was special because everyone was going to receive a nice little “hummer”. The mood turned sour when they found out VP Suck Machine was going to be the giver.
Imagine if Pelosi had been forced to fly like a grunt
Darn and they just recently hired all those first gay black female airplane mechanics
Old times:
1) In 1996, Ron Brown, then-secretary of commerce in the Clinton administration, was killed, along with 34 others, all but two of them Americans, when their Air Force CT-43 plane crashed into a mountainside near Dubrovnik, Croatia. An Air Force inquiry blamed the crash on pilot error and a poorly designed landing approach.
Controversy included evidence he was shot in the head but a number of sources concluded he was not. However, no autopsy was done.
2) Dag Hammarskjöld (29 July 1905 – 18 September 1961) served as the second Secretary-General of the United Nations from April 1953 until his death in a plane crash in September 1961.
Allegation in several places including Foreign Policy.com
Who shot down Dag Hammarskjold?
Newly discovered documents revive claim that Dag Hammarskjold may have been killed by South African agents backed by the CIA.Feb 15, 2022
3) Aug., 1992 Clinton advisor and former campaign finance advistor who broke with him in a dispute. C. Victor Raiser was killed in a plane that crashed while flying on a sunny day in a clear blue sky.
Hmmm...
Almost another happy Ron Brown moment...
Those successful mechanics must have retired or died mysteriously by now...
Someone at the CIA screwed up. Her plane was supposed to crash starting WW III before anyone could find out the real facts.
You mean to tell me one of the most well-maintained airplanes in the entire world wasn’t able to fly?
How dare you inject a simple truthful post into this thread.
I remember the toilets on a C-130 they were a chemical bucket basically with a small curtain that you could close like one of those old iron tub curtains that circled.
And you had a choice of either foamies or a headset with IC.
To avoid cackling the C17 flight crew probably did not tell veep about the IC headset option.
A C17 is a fine acft.
Yup, the C-17 is not built for creature comfort. I am sure she rode in the cockpit, however.
———-
They likely loaded a VIP “comfort pallet” on board the C-17. It’s kind of like a small, self contained tiny condo with amenities.
Too bad they couldn’t fly her back on a C-130.
Another Diversity Hire malfunction?
In more ways than ONE??
Hillary is probably conducting a special review. “How many times do I need to call the Help Line to place an order?????????”
Yep. More comfortable than a C-130, but not exactly the luxury to which that cackler has become accustomed.
