Manchin Plane Goes Off Runway
WEST VIRGINIA....
Governor Joe Manchin, first lady Gayle Manchin and a State Police trooper were aboard Manchin's personal Piper Sarotoga Thursday afternoon on their way to a campaign event in the northern part of the state when the plane blew a tire on takeoff and went off a runway at Charleston's Yeager Airport. Manchin flies the plane himself. The governor has been flying for more than 25 years. There were no injuries.
