Plane back in the air
A military jet is back in the air following an emergency landing Sunday. The Airbus, filled with soldiers on their way to Africa, was forced back to the runway at Moncton shortly after takeoff. The plane and its crew and passengers began their flight at CFB Trenton. The emergency landing was made after a cockpit indicator light signaled the possibility of smoke. The plane landed safely and after being checked over, left this morning for Athens, before flying on to Africa.
