GARY, Ind. (AP) _ A private jet landed safely at Gary-Chicago International Airport shortly after takeoff when the pilot reported smoke in the cockpit.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Tony Molinaro told The Times of Munster the two-engine British Aerospace HS 125-700A, which can hold eight to 12 passengers, landed Friday without incident.
