(CNN) -- Air Force One, flying President Barack Obama to a campaign event, aborted an initial landing attempt in Ohio on Wednesday due to weather conditions.
The jumbo jet experienced turbulence on approach to Toledo and was within sight of the runway when the pilot pulled the plane up and circled the airport, according to reporters on board.
"Air Force One, missed approach," the pilot announced to air traffic controllers, according to radio recordings on the website LiveATC.net.
"We'd like radar vectors back around," the pilot said, according to the recordings.
The Boeing 747 landed safely shortly before noon ET after its go-around, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
The FAA described the incident as a "routine missed approach due to weather."
Weather conditions included fog and mist. Visibility was three miles, but the clouds were at 400 feet.
No injuries were reported.
