During a NATO summit in Ankara, former U.S. president Donald Trump was rumored to have swapped Air Force One for a smaller C‑32A aircraft after U.S. intelligence flagged a potential Iranian missile threat.
According to BBC‑reported sources, Trump boarded the legacy jet, was then hidden in an elevated catering truck, and secretly transferred to a C‑32A before journalists stepped aboard.
After flying to the UK, Trump reboarded the old Air Force One and later flew back to the U.S. on the new Qatar‑donated Boeing 747‑8, where he spoke to reporters about the supposed threat.
White House officials have not confirmed the switch, but the story highlights growing security concerns amid escalating U.S.–Iran tensions.
