On Sept. 11, 2026, the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, a retired pilot gave an account. He operated Air Force One for former President Bush. He remembered that morning. A veteran and a female passenger were seated on that flight. They recounted their memories. Their accounts told that morning's flight.
Separately, the new Air Force One made its public debut. An emergency slide deployed by mistake. NBC News reported it. The slide came out on the presidential aircraft.
