NASHVILLE — First, a loss in Iowa. Now this.

NASHVILLE — First, a loss in Iowa. Now this.

Donald Trump's plane, nicknamed Trump Force One, made an unscheduled landing at Nashville International Airport Wednesday 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. CT. The FAA didn't release how long the plane was on the ground. 

FAA spokesperson Arlene Salac said the agency is investigating the incident.

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.
