As Air Force One begins its descent into Andrews Air Force Base at the end of an 18-hour return trip to Manila, a cockpit indicator light leads the crew to believe that the landing gear might not be locked in place. The aircraft stays in the air while the problem can be examined by an F16 fly by. Concern grows on board Air Force One and on the ground as people become increasingly worried that someone may have tampered with the airplane.
