Karol G’s private plane made an emergency landing at the Van Nuys Airport on Thursday night after the pilot reported smoke in the cockpit.

“From the cockpit,” he said, “it was very clear it was going to be a red flag or safety car, because the conditions were undriveable. The rain was not easing. I could see the black cloud above me.”

“Outside the cockpit, Wileman made everyone smile,” officials with Naval Air Station Whidbey Island said.

Rivals had alerted the FIA to a device in the Red Bull cockpit that they believed could be used to adjust the height of the front of the car's floor.

It’s not yet clear exactly who was flying, but if the pilot at the controls was instrument-rated, as Safai was, they would have been qualified to fly just by looking at the dials inside the cockpit.
