PHL Nearly Doomed George W. Bush This Weekend

First there was the possibly specious New York Times Magazine story about the flight that almost crash-landed in Philly. Now #43 had a scare of his own around.

A plane [re: Gulfstream IV private jet] carrying former President George W. Bush out of Philadelphia was forced to make an emergency landing overnight after the pilot reported smelling smoke, according to CNN.

The Gulfstream landed in Kentucky, before making its way to its final destination in Dallas. The threat turned out to be benign. I look forward to W’s watercolor rendition of the ordeal. [Philly.com]
