Omaha, NE - A pilot made an unscheduled stop at Eppley Airfield Thursday night.  The Air Transat flight was coming from Cancun, headed to Canada, when an undisclosed problem on the plane forced the pilot to land here in Omaha at around 8:00 p.m.   Passengers on board the plane had to wait several hours for a second plane.  They boarded at 5:00 Friday morning and continued on their flight to Calgary.
