A Washington Post report reveals how the Secret Service ran a decoy operation to get President Trump out of Turkey safely on July 8th, 2026, after U.S. officials say they'd identified a credible threat against Air Force One. Trump quietly switched aircraft using a catering truck while the traveling press stayed aboard the original 747, believing he was still on board. CBS News and the Washington Post pieced the operation together over more than a month of reporting, and several key details — including how serious the threat actually was — remain disputed among U.S. officials. — PARTNERS & SPONSORS — ▸ For business inquiries → takingoff@outloudtalent.com ▸ Serendipitous Films – Need a video for your company? → sales@s-films.com ▸ AEROVERSE – Use code TakingOff for 15% off! → https://www.aeroverse.com/ ▸ FlyingEyes Optics – Get 10% off pilot glasses → https://flyingeyesoptics.com/pages/taking-offs-discount ▸ Colten Mortgage – Residential mortgage & refi, run by a pilot! → https://www.coltenmortgage.com/takingoff ▸ XeVision – Extreme LED Landing Lights.
