A technical issue aboard a U.S. Army aircraft prompted an emergency landing this week at Dresden Airport, according to a military spokesperson.
The landing was precautionary, Maj. Matthew Blublaugh at U.S. Army Europe and Africa told Stars and Stripes on Thursday. No injuries were reported in the incident, which happened late Tuesday.
Although Dresden Airport primarily serves commercial traffic, it has also been used by the U.S. military as a stopover location for operations in Europe, including refueling aircraft en route to training exercises.
The aircraft was manufactured by Cessna, whose small planes have been used by the U.S. military for pilot training, cargo shipping, autonomous testing and reconnaissance.
