'Pay attention' - Spirit aircraft warned as it gets too close to Air Force One

In a recent incident, air traffic controllers warned a Spirit Airlines flight for getting too close to Air Force One, the aircraft carrying President Donald Trump, as he flew to the United Kingdom for a state visit. The incident occurred when the Spirit flight allegedly came within approximately 2,100 feet of Air Force One, which is considered an unsafe distance. Air traffic controllers immediately intervened, instructing the Spirit flight to "pay attention" and maintain a safe distance from the President's aircraft. The close proximity between the two planes raised concerns about safety and security protocols. While no further details about the incident have been provided, the event highlights the importance of strict air traffic management and the need for all aircraft to adhere to established protocols, especially when in close proximity to the President's transportation.
