Air Force One Slide Mishap in Texas | Dallas News

President Trump’s Texas trip hit a snag when an emergency slide on the new Qatar-gifted Air Force One unexpectedly deployed on the tarmac—forcing a switch to the old plane while workers handled the glitch. The President joked with reporters, assuring all was well as crews checked the system. Since its summer debut, the new jet has been a work in progress, even briefly sidelined after a missile scare in Turkey. The White House confirmed it’ll keep using the older aircraft while upgrading security on the new one. After the slide was safely deflated, Trump made it to Texas—and still plans to fly it overseas to Ireland soon, fingers crossed for smooth sailing.
