An American Eagle pilot called for medical attention as he was taxing to the runway at Mitchell International Friday morning, an airport spokesman said.

The pilot didn't feel well and didn't think he could fly the plane.  Another pilot had to taxi the aircraft back to the terminal.   No word on the man's condition.

The incident forced the airport to shutdown one of its runways for about an hour.
