Trump Secretly Flew From Turkey on Military Jet Amid Iranian Threat
US President Donald Trump secretly switched from the older Air Force One to a smaller military aircraft, an Air Force C-32A, after leaving Turkey last month amid a credible Iranian assassination threat. While Trump publicly boarded the older Air Force One at Ankara following the NATO summit, he was covertly transferred via an airport catering truck to the smaller plane, which flew him to Britain. The older Air Force One, carrying journalists and some staff, served as a decoy. The newly renovated Qatari-donated aircraft remained in Turkey, with US service members later touring it at RAF Mildenhall.
