Biden back in D.C., but plane remains stuck in Flagstaff The Republic | azcentral.com Mon Apr 29, 2013 8:32 PM Vice President Joe Biden is back in Washington after spending the weekend in Arizona. But Air Force Two is still sitting on the tarmac at Flagstaff Pulliam Airport, where it has been grounded since landing Friday. And it could be there for several days. Biden’s office said the plane’s engines “ingested some debris” after landing. The damage was found in a post-flight inspection. Biden was in Arizona with his two sons and son-in-law. He was the opening speaker at the McCain Institute’s annual Sedona Forum. “As far as I know, he was not stranded,” said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. “If that happened, I did not hear that. But I would be very pleased if he did: They spent a lot of money, so it would be good for the Arizona economy.” Biden returned to Washington on Sunday on an alternate U.S. Air Force aircraft. |
