President Donald Trump secretly swapped planes as he left a Nato summit in Turkey last month, according to US media. Footage from 8 July shows him boarding Air Force One, the presidential jet, at Ankara airport. But according to the Washington Post, he was then secretly taken to a smaller C-32A military aircraft - a modified Boeing 757 often used by the vice-president - via a catering truck, which had been elevated to plane level on the opposite side to where he had boarded.
Journalists and some White House staff boarded Air Force One and were reportedly told to close their window shades. They were unaware the president was no longer on board.
The BBC's State Department correspondent Tom Bateman shares what it's like to be onboard Air Force One with the president as part of the press pool.
