US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's plane made an emergency landing at a RAF base in the UK due to a crack in the aircraft's windscreen. The Boeing C-32A, a military version of the Boeing 757, was flying to Washington, DC, from Brussels, where Hegseth was attending NATO meetings. The plane declared an emergency over the Atlantic Ocean, Daily Express reported.
The aircraft, which serves as a transport for senior US military and Government officials, was about 30 minutes into its flight when the issue was detected. The Boeing aircraft descended to 10,000 feet. The crew of the Boeing C-32A decided to divert the flight to RAF Mildenhall, a Royal Air Force station in Suffolk, England. Despite its RAF status, Mildenhall primarily supports United States Air Force (USAF) operations.
