ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI (CNN) — Barack Obama’s plane made an unscheduled landing in St. Louis Monday after the pilot reported technical problems. The plane landed safely.

En route from Chicago to a campaign appearance in Charlotte, North Carolina, the pilot detected a “control ability issue” in the “pitch” of the plane. He said there was no need to assume the “brace” position and that he had “full authority of the aircraft.”
–From CNN Producer Alexander Marquardt
