President Trump underwent a covert aircraft swap on July 8 while departing a NATO summit in Turkey in response to a credible Iranian missile threat detected by U.S. intelligence [1]. Trump initially boarded Air Force One in front of television cameras before being transferred via a catering truck raised to aircraft height to a C-32A military plane, a modified Boeing 757 [1]. Reporters and some White House staff members aboard Air Force One were instructed to close their window shades, unaware that the president had been evacuated [1].
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth separately boarded the C-32A [1]. Trump characterized his security situation in stark terms, stating "I'm all the time under threat," "I'm number one on Iran's list," and referring to his security detail with the phrase "If I go, you go, right?" [1]. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the new Air Force One, asserting it is "completely safe" for presidential travel [1]. The aircraft transfer involved moving Trump from the newer Boeing 747-8, which was donated by Qatar, to the alternative military transport [1].
