The Federal Aviation Administration said the Canadair Challenger 601 operated by World Wide Jet was traveling from Omaha, Neb., to Santa Monica, Calif., and was diverted to Denver at about 2:40 p.m. (4:40 p.m. ET) after the pilot reported smoke in the cockpit.

Please no spin zone.
 
When I first read this, I thought it said that she diverted the pilot to Denver to have a smoke. :rolleyes: :lol:
 
Actually, when I first read the title I thought they diverted because of forest fire smoke!
 
I've had one flight where the cockpit filled up with smoke. It was terrifying. Fortunately, I was close enough to get back on the ground and use the fire extinguisher.
I can't imagine how scary to be at 32000 feet and have the plane fill with smoke and discover an electrical fie.
Glad they all are fine.
