Trump Tweets ‘Aircraft One’ Will Do a Flyover for His 4th of July Rally – Aircraft One Is Putin’s Plane
President Donald Trump is working hard to get people to attend his hastily thrown-together “Salute to America” Independence Day celebration on the National Mall today. But in one of his morning tweets he bragged, “Perhaps even Aircraft One will do a low and loud sprint over the crowd.”
Aircraft One is recognized as the name of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s plane.
A documentary about the Russian jet can be viewed on Amazon Prime’s streaming service.
“Called ‘Kremlin-In-the-Air’, it carries Russia’s most important passenger – the President. Set in the context of real historical events, the film reveals unique facts about life and work aboard the Aircraft One,” reads the description.
Trump quickly deleted the tweet.

But not soon enough. Many on social media took time to mock the American president.
“Aircraft One” is what Putin’s plane is known as in Russia. https://t.co/cmJ70MDyrA

#Trump deleted his Aircraft One tweet! His Maga trolls were trying to explain it away with some technicality, but more likely he had #Putin‘s plane’s name in mind. Btw, why did he prohibit staff & official note-taking at his mtg with Putin? And where are those translators notes? https://t.co/C8AqzQkrEP

In his desperate attempt to draw a big crowd tonight, Trump gave the game away by calling the presidential plane Aircraft One, which is literally the name of Putin’s plane. Maybe it could fly over and pick up Trump and his traitorous family for a one-way trip to Moscow. pic.twitter.com/mI19gOrAja

Putin is coming from far and wide to join what is turning out to be the biggest celebrations in the history of Russia, SALUTE TO TRUMP, an all day event, culminating with a low & loud sprint over the crowd by Aircraft One. #BoycottTrump4thOfJuly #July4th pic.twitter.com/8RL1W1Su0a

@POTUS are you confused about which Country you are in? Aircraft One is the name of Putin’s plane.

To be fair, he probably has flown around on Aircraft One. But, it’s early in the morning so he probably forgot which plane was Putin’s. pic.twitter.com/2G5i3OESpb
