See that CNN reporting White House COS Andrew Card's aircraft diverted with smoke in cockpit. Looks like an airforce Gulfstream. Any info anyone?

Smoke in the cockpit, aircraft diverted and landed with no problems. Standby G-IV picked up the passengers and finished the trip.

Just for clarification, it was not a "State Dept." aircraft, but a Gulfstream assigned to the USAF SAM (Special Air Mission) at Andrews AFB near the Capital.

Cheers,
