Trump's plane makes unscheduled landing en route to Montana rally because of 'mechanical issues' | 9 Aug 2024 | Former President Donald Trump's plane suffered "mechanical issues" on Friday, forcing it to make an unscheduled landing in Montana, The Post has learned. Trump's distinctive Boeing 757, nicknamed Trump Force One, was en route to Bozeman, where the Republican nominee for president will headline a campaign rally Friday night, when it was rerouted to Billings, about two hours to the east, at about 4:30 p.m. "His aircraft had mechanical issues, and he was diverted into the Billings-Logan Airport," a spokesperson for the airport told The Post. "He's continuing to Bozeman on a private jet," they added. The nature of the mechanical issues are unclear.
