A new Netflix documentary titled “The Decoy Plane,” out Sept. 4, explores the White House’s elaborate ruse, with footage from and interviews with various reporters who were on board Air Force One.
“I see those catering vehicles up against the side of Air Force One … I have never seen that before,” says the AP’s chief White House photographer, Alex Brandon, in the trailer.
The reporters boarded the aircraft after Trump and took their seats. Then, “the second unusual thing happens,” Brandon says.

When the specifics of the move came to light, Trump faced backlash for deceiving reporters and putting them — and White House staff — in potential danger.
