Ghana’s Presidential Jet On Burning Fire

The Ghana's presidential jet, a Falcon 900, in an attempt to take off at the Kokota International Airport, caught fire today 3rd of March, 2015.

The Ghanaian Armed Forces reported that the fire was as a result of 'friction between the wheels & the runway surface.'

One of the spokesmen stated the aircraft was about journeying to Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, on a mission when the incident occurred. He also revealed that the flight crew had experienced slight operational problems with the Jet's computer system as the plane ran on the runway, all set to take off.

Because of this, the aircraft was returned to the Air Force Base in Accra to reset the computers, but during the 2nd attempt to take-off, the "aircraft lost two main left wheels.".

It's reported that the passengers were safely evacuated and there wasn't loss of lives.
