Coast Guard plane carrying Markwayne Mullin makes emergency landing after engine failure
The jet landed safely with 14 people aboard, and airport officials said it did not disrupt other flights.
- On Wednesday, a Coast Guard C-37A jet carrying Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin made an emergency landing at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport after reporting a right engine failure; all 14 people aboard exited safely.
- DHS records indicate the 22-year-old aircraft previously faced 'significant avionics and communications obsolescence issues,' a concern flagged in departmental statements before the emergency.
- The pilot told controllers the flight carried 14 people and had 2.5 hours of fuel remaining. Mullin praised the crew on X, writing that 'The United States Coast Guard pilots made the single engine landing feel routine.'
- By October 2025, the department shifted its replacement request from roughly $50 million to roughly $200 million for two Gulfstream G700s, prompting scrutiny from Democratic Rep. Lauren Underwood of Illinois.
- Democratic Reps. Bennie Thompson and LaMonica McIver questioned whether replacing executive jets should take priority over updating older planes used in search-and-rescue missions, intensifying budget debates.
