(Nashville, Tennessee...) -- July 9, 2019 -- 38 Special lead singer and co-founder Don Barnes’
Ride The Storm
album took on new meaning yesterday, as he and his wife Christine were en route from Atlanta to Baltimore for a family beach vacation in Delaware. Not long into the flight, an engine issue forced the crew of their Delta plane to make an emergency landing at Raleigh-Durham International Airport.
“Christine and I were on that plane yesterday, thinking we’re going to have a nice relaxing few days off the road, and it looked like an engine flamed out,” said Don. "It was definitely a harrowing event. Everyone on that plane was very concerned as we descended. It's not something I would ever want to experience again.”
The plane landed without incident, and Don and Christine made it safely to their Delaware destination. Officials have not disclosed the nature of the engine malfunction.
