The Orlando Magic, whose corporate jet had to be diverted on the way home on Monday night, have landed at Orlando International Airport.

As they flew back to Orlando late Monday, the Magic's corporate jet -- a Boeing 737-300 that holds 42 passengers -- had mechanical problems and an engine oil indicator light came on. They had to stay over in Cincinnati.

"We encountered a mechanical problem after departing from Detroit, and as a precautionary measure we landed in Cincinnati where we spent the night," said Joel Glass, vice president of communications for the Magic. "Everyone is safe and we look forward to returning home this morning."

Do the Magic have some kind of magnetic field or EMP surrounding them that forces machines to go haywire? I mean, first the game clock and now the team plane? What's next? The brakes in Dwight's car?

....oh God, I was kidding about that last one!!! :pray:

They probably turned over the oil too.

no one was flying the plane. sorry should have explained my answer. Because of the lack of leadership no one could decide who should fly the plane.

Losing practice time doesn't help.

As a precaution, Dwight should get a parachute.

Superman don't need no parachute.

But mild mannered Clark Kent would need one just so his teammates and opponents don't get suspicious.

Clearly the Pistons know the only way to beat Orlando is to cheat.

I'm surprised no one has photo shopped Dumars with a wrench working on an airplane.
