A plane carrying Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin made an emergency landing Wednesday after the aircraft suffered an engine failure.
Mullion was traveling from Georgia to Washington, D.C., when the U.S. Coast Guard C101 was diverted to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Virginia.
“The United States Coast Guard pilots made the single-engine landing feel routine,” Mullin wrote on X about the ordeal. “No panic, just straight professionalism. After we landed, the pilots told me that was a first for them! We could not have been in better hands.”
The aircraft is one of the Coast Guard planes that the Department of Homeland Security flagged last year because of its age.
