In a surprise swap, Trump flies back from Turkey in an old Air Force One, not the Qatari-gifted jet
President Donald Trump flew back from Turkey on an older Air Force One aircraft instead of the new Qatari-gifted jet, citing 'old time’s sake.' The swap raised security concerns about the new jet’s lack of missile countermeasures, while both aircraft made an unscheduled stop at RAF Mildenhall. The older plane had its transponder temporarily disabled, a security measure typically used in high-risk environments.
