Vice President Mike Pence’s charter pilots flew thousands of feet too far down a New York airport runway last October before touching down and skidding into a bed designed to prevent aircraft from sliding onto an adjacent highway.
“Down, down, down, down,” the plane’s captain implored the copilot, who was at the controls of the Boeing Co. 737-700 just a few feet over the LaGuardia Airport runway, according to a transcript of the voice recorder released on Thursday.
