Reports Identify C-32A Used in Trump's Secret Turkey Flight
Reports say President Trump secretly left last month's NATO summit. The summit was in Ankara, Turkey.
He reportedly switched to a different military plane called a C-32A. But the White House said he was flying on Air Force One.
Reports say Trump hid inside an airport catering container or truck. He was then moved to the smaller military jet.
Reporters and some White House staff did not know about the switch. They were falsely told Trump was still on Air Force One. Reports say the switch happened due to an Iranian assassination threat.
Klear Note — Air Force One is the call sign for the president's aircraft. The C-32A is a smaller military jet used for presidential travel.
