TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - The state plane carrying Gov. Charlie
Crist had to make a U-turn over Georgia and return to Tallahassee
after three controls malfunctioned.
Crist spokeswoman Erin Isaac, who was aboard the plane, says the
governor is OK and there were no problems landing the plane
Tuesday. She said pilots made the decision to go back when
mechanisms that control the plane's tail, its up and down steering
and the autopilot malfunctioned.
Crist was on his way to Washington to meet with House members
and participate in a round-table discussion on the Colombia free
trade agreement being held up by Democrats.
Crist also had a scare during his 2006 campaign, when pilots had
to make an emergency landing when an engine cut out.
