Presumably associated with the AR-80NE Res from 1030-1330 (local) ? And there is also that other AR-80NE Res from 1115-1215 (local) FL240-FL270. See who shows up (if anybody) ?

AF2 returned to JBA with a technical issue where the Vice President will switch planes and continue on to Guatemala City. “It is a technical issue. there are no major safety concerns,” she said.

After telling reporters “I’m good. I’m good,” Harris said: “We all said a little prayer but we’re good.”

According to pool reports there was an unusual noise that came from the landing gear when they took off but the landing back at JBA was completely normal.

As a follow up, the WH has released a few more details...
"Shortly after takeoff from Joint Base Andrews en route to Guatemala City, the Air Force Two crew noticed the landing gear was not storing as it should which could lead to further mechanical issues. While there was no immediate safety issue, out of an abundance of caution, they returned to Joint Base Andrews where they have all the parts and mechanics they need to fix the issue. Passengers boarded the back-up C32, which is an Air Force Boeing modified 757."
