Fake Air Force One video tricks social media users


Listen To Story Above

A social media video claiming to show Trump’s Air Force One performing flybys for Navy sailors has been exposed as digitally manipulated content. The footage, originally posted on TikTok by user @iceman_fox1 and later shared on Facebook, accumulated over 25,000 views with a caption suggesting the event occurred near Washington DC.

Investigation reveals the video was created using “mixed reality” technology, as confirmed by the content creator’s YouTube biography which explicitly states their channel specializes in “Mixed reality digital aviation videos.”

No evidence supports the alleged flyby event. Neither Trump’s various social media accounts, including his X, verified platforms, and TRUTH Social, nor official White House communications mention such an occurrence. Independent fact-checking organizations Full Fact and Misbar have both concluded the video was digitally fabricated.

Meanwhile, Boeing has initiated discussions with Tesla CEO Elon Musk regarding expedited delivery of delayed Air Force One replacements. During a CNBC interview, Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg confirmed the company’s collaboration with Musk to address the behind-schedule and over-budget aircraft project.
