to the other plane behind Air Force One, which is also...
Amir TsarfatiGUEST
See that truck, the catering truck, is going to the C-32A, which is a 757, not a 747, that sometimes vice presidents are using, but it's equipped with all the latest technology.
Amir TsarfatiGUEST
So not only that he wasn't using the Qatari one, he wasn't even using the old Air Force one.
Amir TsarfatiGUEST
And he was actually smuggled in a daring operation with deceiving, obviously, the media and the whole world.
Hal SparksGUEST
I think that's an apt analogy.
Hal SparksGUEST
And in the case of Donald Trump, there were a couple of things that – that tipped me towards my belief that the C-32A was a medevac plane they had set up for him specifically, and they very well may be using it on the regular.
Hal SparksGUEST
And it has a lot to do with, like, if we build a heliport, he doesn't have to walk out to the helicopter until it happens.
Hal SparksGUEST
And when he does, the ground is more steady, so he doesn't have to worry about tripping and falling in the grass because he's terrified of that right now.

Hal SparksGUEST
And then you're stacking them against, I've got flights all over America to campaign for people.
Hal SparksGUEST
And, you know, increasingly they might be short range flights where he's flying at a lower altitude, all kinds of shit like that, just if they're protecting him.
Hal SparksGUEST
But I think in that, long story short, too late, is that the C-32A was a medevac plane that they outfitted with a big container full of whatever his... you know, his support mechanics are, whether it's a dialysis machine, you know, whether it's a, you know, chemo, whether it's both, whatever they've got going.
Hal SparksGUEST
And the 18 to 22 doctors that they talk about he needs who are always checking on him, probably about 15 of them were traveling on that.
Alex ColeGUEST
But I got to do that.
Alex ColeGUEST
I flew the 757 or Air Force designation C-32B and flew for the Bush and the Obama administration.
Alex ColeGUEST
And a lot of times we'll call it Air Force Two, but primarily Air Force Two is a call sign that we carry for the vice president.
Alex ColeGUEST
But we are responsible for Vice President, First Lady, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State, Chairman of Joint Chiefs Staff, other senior military leaders that authorized that aircraft.

But actually, according to The Post, and you can see here, Trump and several of his aides were secretly shuttled minutes later onto this airport catering truck, which was elevated and positioned at a door out of the view of the cameras.
speaker_6CORRESPONDENT
The Post reports that the president was on that catering truck when it pulled away from Air Force One at 8.30 p.m., secretly bringing him to a smaller plane, an Air Force C-32A, making the Air Force One that everyone thought he was on a decoy that still had the reporters who thought the president had boarded that plane, and who you see boarding right here on the right, and some White House staff aboard.
speaker_6CORRESPONDENT
The Washington Post reports, and I quote, the maneuver meant that the president's actual location was concealed from the American public and many senior U.S. officials for hours.
speaker_6CORRESPONDENT
Now, the plane that he's getting on here is not to be confused with the old Air Force One decoy or the military plane that he flew on secretly.
speaker_6CORRESPONDENT
But it was when the president got back on this plane to fly home to the U.S. that he was asked by reporters why they had been told to lower their window shades on that first flight, which is extremely unusual and not typically something that happens for the press that sits on the right side of the plane, which is where that airport catering truck was now that you look back at that other video.
speaker_6CORRESPONDENT
But given what we know now, given the pictures that you can see now, it makes what the president told reporters in that gaggle afterward all the more noteworthy.

Especially in the Air Force, we say at least the flying regs are written in blood.
Mike MinihanGUEST
So that means that when I open up the flight manual to the C-130 or the T-37 or the T-38 or the KC-10 or the C-32, whatever airplanes I was qualified to fly, and you look at a note, a warning, a caution, you look at some of the things we say they're written in blood.
Mike MinihanGUEST
That thing exists because somebody was injured or died to make this a comment.
Mike MinihanGUEST
But the majority of our regulations aren't like that.
