President Donald Trump secretly switched aircraft as he departed a NATO summit in Turkey last month, according to media reports. Footage from July 8 shows Trump boarding Air Force One, the presidential jet, at Ankara's airport.
However, the Washington Post reported that Trump was then taken to a smaller C-32A military aircraft, a modified Boeing 757 often used by the vice president. The departure was reportedly concealed using a catering truck, elevated to plane level on the opposite side of the tarmac from where Trump had boarded Air Force One.
Journalists and some White House staff on board the larger aircraft were reportedly instructed to close their window shades, remaining unaware that the president was no longer on the plane. The BBC's State Department correspondent Tom Bateman was part of the press pool that traveled with Trump on Air Force One.
