US President Donald Trump’s reported secret flight from Turkey to Britain has drawn attention because of the extraordinary security measures involved. According to a Washington Post report, Trump was moved from one aircraft to another using a catering truck after boarding what was publicly identified as Air Force One.
But Trump is not the first US president to use a decoy aircraft and an elaborate security operation to conceal his movements. A remarkably similar incident took place in 2000, when then-President Bill Clinton secretly flew into Pakistan aboard an unmarked aircraft while a plane bearing the markings of Air Force One was used as a decoy.
