Plane carrying McCain security forced to land
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- A small plane carrying Secret Service agents assigned to Republican presidential candidate John McCain made a forced landing after taking off from a Phoenix area airport Tuesday, but there were no injuries.

Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said the single-engine Cessna 206 took off from Glendale Airport just after 10 a.m. The pilot noted a rough-running engine and tried to land in a vacant lot two miles from the runway, hitting a fence. The plane had substantial damage
