Coast Guard jet pulls a solo-engine stunt with Mullin onboard
When your flight hits a snag and you have to rely on the pilots being absolute rockstars.
So, Markwayne Mullin was flying over the DC area when his Coast Guard jet decided one engine was quite enough, thanks. Apparently, the plane just stopped cooperating mid-air, forcing the pilots to pull off a single-engine emergency landing.
The craziest part? The pilots told him afterward that this was a first for them, but they handled it with the kind of calm usually reserved for someone ordering a coffee. No panic, just landed the thing like they were parking a sedan.
It is wild that the people in charge of national security end up in a situation where they are just hoping the remaining engine has a bit of luck left in it. A reminder that even with government-grade hardware, sometimes gravity and mechanics decide to have a chat.
