New VC-25B Bridge Air Force One Visits RAF Mildenhall
After taking President Trump to Ankara for the NATO summit, the new VC-25B Bridge aircraft called into RAF Mildenhall to allow deployed U.S. personnel a special chance to view and tour the aircraft. The visit was officially confirmed by President Trump on the Truth Social platform, where he also suggested that him and his entourage would travel on the ‘old’ Air Force One for “old time’s sake” to Mildenhall. This refers to VC-25A 92-9000, which accompanied the VC-25B Bridge to Ankara as the backup aircraft. VC-25B Bridge landing at RAF Mildenhall.

President Donald Trump has left Turkey on an older VC-25A Air Force One jet. The U.S. Air Force’s new VC-25B Bridge aircraft had brought Trump to that country yesterday for the NATO Summit, but left without him on board earlier today. Trump had earlier confirmed that he would head from Turkey to RAF Mildenhall in the United Kingdom on the VC-25A rather than the Bridge aircraft “for old time’s sake.” The Bridge aircraft, a modified, Qatari-gifted Boeing 747-8i , flew to Mildenhall first.
