SACRAMENTO — The plane carrying Gov. George Deukmejian on an inspection tour of storm-ravaged Northern California today was forced to make an emergency landing on one engine, authorities said.
The two-engine plane developed trouble in a throttle shortly after takeoff from Sonoma County Airport, said Donna Lipper, a spokeswoman for the governor. She said the plane returned to the airfield without incident, where a mechanic repaired the throttle. The aircraft took off again 30 minutes later and returned the governor to Sacramento.
