The Express Tribune
Secret switchThe deception operation was triggered by a credible threat to Trump, the Post reported.
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."
The C-32A carrying Trump flew to Britain and arrived at around 10:20pm, with the older Air Force One and media arriving minutes later, the Post reported.
It was not clear, the paper said, how Trump was moved from the C-32A back to the older Air Force One.
It was intended to serve as a temporary replacement while Boeing struggled to deliver long-delayed next-generation Air Force One planes.
