| Trump's plane swapsie controversy 13:34 - Aug 12 with 1082 views | ElderGrizzly | Not sure how many picked up on this over the last few days https://www.theguardian.com/us Effectively there was a verified threat to Trump from Iran as he flew out of Turkey, so he jumped into a catering truck and switched planes. Yet they left everyone else on there, without any warning as potential collateral damage, while Trump and Hegseth boarded an entirely different plane. He then jumped back into the 747 at Mildenhall through a lower door and came down the normal steps to make everything look normal. Trump of course as President gets different treatment, but as Obama officials have said since, you don't not warn the others who are left on there to carry on as normal. Nice summary here: [Post edited 12 Aug 13:34]

A journalist broke it a couple of days ago, and of course MAGA denied it until they were blue in the face. Then the White House admitted it yesterday and threw them all under the bus. Your last sentence is absolutely spot on. |  | |  |

He actually jumped on the 3rd plane (the C32-A) that is used for the 'lesser'/support folk. So didn't use his Qatari pimp-palace or the old 747. |  | |  |

Mildenhall always seem the preferred stop-off for Middle East/Asia. You get a good shot of them coming over Ely Cathedral most days and it is very obvious when there is some kind of military operation ongoing. |  | |  |

Hmmm, so what you are saying is pack 3 or 4 just to be sure. |  | |  |

| Trump's plane swapsie controversy on 14:19 - Aug 12 with 741 views | Basuco | Reminds me of when I worked at RAF Mildenhall many years ago, on a few occasions security would be ultra tight, generally I would not have my ID checked as I drove in and out the main gate several times every day and all the SP's knew me. Of course they always said it was routine spot checks when I asked who was coming in, but when I was denied access to the 3rd Air Force HQ building, I knew someone very important was around. We usually found out who a few days or weeks later. Air Force one used to come over twice a year and all comms were connected to the air craft to test connectivity, we knew this was a test because we were asked to be around a few days before the tests in case anything failed. Sadly I was never allowed to go onboard the plane. In 1978 the guy I worked with had Town scarfs and flags attached to his van for several weeks after the FA Cup win, when he took them off the SP's stopped him and asked for ID, saying they did not recognise him without them. TWTD's, great times, work and football. |  | |  |

It’s a regime that murdered thousands of their own citizens for the audacity of having a protest, they love killing people whether those people are objectionable or not. |  | |  |
| On a different tangent on 15:11 - Aug 12 with 551 views | Pendejo | I saw that Heathrow has been overtaken by Istanbul as Europe's busiest airport, fair do, connects Europe to Asia it's a logical hub. BUT the reason cited was the "war" on Iran... Do, passengers are not coming thru Lonfon, preferring to use a hub airport closer to the action? BBC News - London Heathrow replaced as Europe's busiest airport by Istanbul - BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/art The US-Israel conflict with Iran has had an impact on Heathrow's passenger traffic They've now qualified this statement... |  |

So the only people that knew that Trump had switched planes were Trump, his closest security personnel and possibly the Iranians who decided not to take down any of the planes involved despite the fact they like killing people, whether they are objectionable or not. |  |
