Hillary, Chelsea Clinton Flew on Doomed Plane
President Clinton’s wife, Hillary, and daughter, Chelsea, flew last week on the same plane that crashed in Croatia with Commerce Secretary Ronald H. Brown aboard, U.S. Air Force sources said Wednesday.
A military version of the widely used Boeing 737 passenger jet flew the first lady and her 16-year-old daughter from the Turkish capital, Ankara, to the ancient biblical city of Ephesus and on to Istanbul last Wednesday.
The first lady used the plane rather than the Boeing 707 assigned to her for a weeklong goodwill tour of Southern Europe because of the short runway at Ephesus. The same plane was used to ferry Defense Secretary William J. Perry into and out of Bosnia-Herzegovina last week.
