Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's plan was forced to make an emergency landing in Van Nuys after the pilot said smoke was spotted in the cockpit, according to news reports. There were no further problems and the governor even sent a Twitter message on the incident.
"A little adventure just now when my plane made an emergency landing. All's OK, though," the governor Tweeted.
Schwarzenegger had just left California's heartland in Mendota in Fresno County, where he was viewing drought damage to farmland. He was heading home to Santa Monica when the incident occurred. The jet was diverted to Van Nuys Airport.
In Mendota, Schwarzenegger said he would ask President Barack Obama to declare Fresno County a disaster area because of the drought. That would give the region federal funds to cope with the diaster.
