(AP) -- A Northwest Airlines regional jet from Springfield had to turn back twice after takeoff because of a smoke warning.
Airport officials said no smoke was found after either emergency landing at Springfield-Branson National Airport.
The flight took off for Memphis early Tuesday but had to land about 7:30 a.m. after a warning light showed smoke in the cockpit. Nothing was found, and the passengers got on other flights.
Airport spokesman Kent Boyd says the same plane took off again, and experienced the same problem.
