Trump's plane stops at Nashville airport after 'engine problems'

Donald Trump's plane, nicknamed Trump Force One, made a landing at the Nashville International Airport Wednesday at 4:40 p.m. after the control tower received a report that the plane was experiencing engine trouble, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

The plane carrying the GOP presidential front-runner landed at 4:40 p.m.

FAA spokesperson Arlene Salac said the FAA is investigating the incident. It has not been released how long Trump's plane was on the ground.

Hope Hicks, a spokeswoman for Trump's campaign, said the delay was caused by a "minor mechanical issue" and that Trump continued on to his destination on a small charter aircraft. Trump was traveling from New York City to Little Rock, Ark.
