A Delta flight with dozens of Minneapolis high school students on board made an emergency landing just minutes after taking off from New York's LaGuardia Airport. The plane landed safely at John F. Kennedy Airport. No one was injured. The emergency came after the pilot smelled smoke.

There were no passengers on board. Mechanics were testing the engines on the Boeing airliner when they reportedly experienced a problem with the brakes. The jet sustained "significant damage" when it rolled off a taxiway and down an embankment.

A small plane set down in a farm field east of Hibbing after the cockpit filled with smoke. The plane's pilot and passenger both escaped serious injury.

The Delta Air Lines plane was headed to Orlando when an indicator light came on shortly after takeoff. WCCO reports the pilot shut down the engine and safely returned to the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport Friday night.

A pilot and his two passengers from Canada are OK after their single-engine plane made an emergency landing on Highway 24 near Litchfield Tuesday. The pilot said his Cessna 172 was on the way from Rochester to Alexandria when the engine began to lose power.

Earlier this summer, Delta Air Lines announced plans to shut down its shrunken, 35-year-old regional carrier Comair by Sept. 29. Minnesota passengers won't notice the change much.
