The White House said at the time that the president was flying aboard Air Force One from Turkey, where he had attended a NATO summit, to Britain.
(Jonathan Ernst/Reuters)When asked later by reporters why they had to keep their shades shut during the flight, Trump said it was because they were "probably on a dangerous flight."
It was not clear, the paper said, how Trump was moved from the C-32A back to the older Air Force One.
After Trump climbed down the stairs of the older Air Force One, he gave the media a peace sign but didn't walk over to talk to them.
It was intended to serve as a temporary replacement while Boeing struggled to deliver long-delayed next-generation Air Force One planes.
