Air Force Two carrying VP Pence forced to land at New Hampshire airport after BIRD COLLISION - report
An aircraft carrying Vice President Mike Pence, known as Air Force Two, was forced to turn back and land after it reportedly collided with a bird over New Hampshire shortly after take-off.
The plane struck a bird soon after taking off from New Hampshire’s Manchester Airport on Tuesday following a Trump campaign event, a White House official told NPR’s Tamara Keith, adding that “out of abundance of caution, Air Force 2 returned safely back to Manchester.”
