The plane of first lady she had to "hang" as the jargon, it was coming down the runway on which there was a 200-ton military cargo plane.

The cargo had not released the track on time, "explained an official of the base. Who also confirmed the presence of the first lady on the airplane. Michelle Obama was returning after participating in a television program and a few other meetings with Vice President Joe Biden in New York.


The Boeing 737 that carried part of the presidential fleet. Flight controllers have found that between the C-17 cargo and flight EXEC1F, that indicates aircraft carrying members of the family of the President, the safety distance had been overcome. And they said the pilot of the Boeing to conduct a series of maneuvers to "S" to regain a safe distance.
