Engine trouble forced Donald Trump's presidential campaign plane to make an emergency landing on Wednesday in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Boeing 757 was flying to Little Rock, Arkansas, from New York City when it landed at Nashville International Airport. Trump traveled the rest of the way to Little Rock in a small charter aircraft, a campaign spokeswoman said.
The Federal Aviation Administration said Trump's plane landed safely at 4:40 p.m. after reporting engine problems, reported Reuters. The agency will investigated the incident, it said.
Trump eventually made it to the Little Rock event but it started more than an hour and a half late, said NBC News.
Speaking about his late arrival, Trump said that it was "rough" getting there, but there was "no way" he would head back to New York instead of continue on to Little Rock.
"I love Arkansas," Trump said.
More than 11,500 people attended the event at Barton Coliseum and Trump tweeted out a big thank you.
