Donald Trump's Air Force One flight to London got dangerously close to another plane while travelling in the skies of New York, it has been reported. The US President's Air Force One and Spirit Flight 1300, an Airbus A321 flying from Fort Lauderdale to Boston, were approaching Long Island when an air traffic controller observed their altitudes were close.

He also noticed that their flight paths were converging and attempted to warn the pilots of the Spirit flight to adjust their course. The encounter was first posted first by the @JonNYC account on the Bluesky media app. The unverified audio was shared by @thenewarea51 on X.

"Pay attention, Spirit 1300, turn 20 degrees right,” the controller said after the airline crew ignored his initial message. "Spirit 1300, turn 20 degrees RIGHT NOW."

Raising his voice again, the controller commanded: "Spirit Wings 1300 turn 20 degrees RIGHT. IMMEDIATELY."

Finally the Spirit pilots acknowledged the routing change.

"Spirit 1300, traffic's off your left wing by 6 miles, or 8 miles. 747. I'm sure you can see who it is,” the controller said, referring to the blue Air Force One aircraft. "I’ll keep an eye out for him, he's white and blue."

And the New York controller gave one final warning to the Spirit crew: "Pay attention! Get off the iPad!"

Misleading journalism as it looks more like the Spirit Airlines plane was flying right into the path of Air Force One.

A possible way to kill him.

Dood was on his phone checking out Amazon specials. Who isn’t?

On August 29, 2025, after a failed restructuring, Spirit Airlines filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy for the second time in less than a year...

Hmmmm.....maybe not the type of airline you want to have flying in your airspace.

...The encounter was first posted first by the @JonNYC account on the Bluesky media app....

The UK's Deep State is just getting desperate now...

[Ann Archy]

Spirit Airlines PILOT needs to be investigated!

[Paul R.]

Spirit 1300 was likely close to being knocked down by one of Air Force 1’s escorts...

[grey_whiskers]

Another attempted assassination.

[mewzilla]

...The unverified audio was shared by @thenewarea51 on X...

It would be easy enough to verify.

Why hasn't the enemedia outlet done it...?

[virgil]

And all of the passengers aboard with it. These creatures are crazy as F.

Spirit flight from Ft Lauderdale to Boston…nice. We could have possibly lost the best President ever over a flight full of welfare recipients and DEI hires returning from their ghetto cruise.

AF1 isn’t always escorted. When there are specific threats it is and perhaps this is one.

🔝🔝

[SaveFerris]

Hmmm...

Unless Spirit pilot knew it was AF1

Still TCAS should give AF1 evasive maneuvers

Waiting for more information...🤔🤔🤔

[dangus]

Read the article. Spirit pilot knew it was AF1

[SaveFerris]

Yeah I was just emphasizing

Thanks

So ... I’m wondering 🤔🤔🤔

Democrat?
“Transgender”?

I may not be joking 😃

[SaveFerris]

It’s because they keep raising prices on the stuff in your cart 🛒🛒🛒 before you check out!

😛😜 Grrrr 😠😠

And now for the rest of the story...possibly.

“...Preliminary flight data from flightradar24.com indicates the Spirit Airbus A321 the closest the two jets came on converging paths was around 11 miles....”

Note to the UK’s Deep State: Nice try.

Folks, if the CBS info is accurate, you’ve been played.
