Elton John’s private jet was forced to turn back due to a hydraulic failure. But the emergency landing only succeeded on the third attempt.
Sir Elton John (74) has had a horror flight. First, a technical problem on board forced the pilots of his private jet to turn back. But the emergency landing had to be aborted twice.
Technical problems and storm “Franklin”
The singer was en route from Farnborough Airport in Hampshire, UK for a gig in New York on Monday and was over Ireland when the pilots decided they had to turn back due to a problem with the hydraulic systems. They radioed for an emergency landing, after which firefighters rushed to the runway.
But when the storm “Franklin” swept over the airfield at 130 kilometers per hour, the plane had to abort its emergency landing twice and turn back again. : “The jet was spun through the air and failed to land. It was a terrifying sight.” The maneuver only succeeded on the third attempt. Rescue workers surrounded the £66million Bombardier Global Express jet as it came to a halt. The superstar is said to have been “shocked”.
However, Sir Elton John later boarded a plane to the United States in time for his performance at Madison Square Garden as part of his worldwide Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.
