Sept. 2 (UPI) — A Coast Guard jet with Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin onboard made an emergency landing Wednesday afternoon near Washington, after the jet suffered a mid-flight engine failure.
“The United States Coast Guard pilots made the single-engine landing feel routine,” Mullin said online, confirming the incident.
“No panic, just straight professionalism. After we landed, the pilots told me that was a first for them! We could not have been in better hands.”
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport confirmed the C-37A with 14 people onboard landed safely at 1:35 p.m. EDT. No other flights were disrupted, it added.
According to audio of communication between the plane’s pilots and air traffic control, the aircraft had lost its right engine, and had requested an emergency landing at the airport, which was granted.
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is located in Arlington County, Va.
