To Protect President Trump, Backup Plane's... F-16's & MH-65 Helicopter SCRAMBLED, as 'Possible' Drones TRIED To Approach

Two U.S. Air National Guard F-16C Vipers and one U.S. Coast Guard MH-65 helicopter were scrambled to intercept a possible drone near one of President Donald Trump's backup planes, according to flight tracking data and Air Traffic Control (ATC) audio.

The maneuvers were spotted, using ADS-B Exchange data and ATC recording, by conspiracy theory debunking website Metabunk, reported on by The Warzone and posts from the flight tracking X account Thenewarea51 (@thenewarea51).

When Newsweek put these reports to Joint Base Andrews Air Force Base for comment, it did not deny them. Newsweek has also contacted the White House and the U.S. Air Force, via email, for comment.
What To Know

The SAM47 USAF Boeing C-32A/757 was reportedly supposed to land at Joint Base Andrews Air Force Base, in Washington D.C., when a "potential drone" sighting delayed it.

The "potential drone" was seen over Freeway Airport, around 10 miles north of Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, according to the audio.

A spokesperson from the 89th Airlift Wing, which is responsible for the presidential airlift unit and its mission, at Joint Base Andrews told Newsweek: "There was no operational impact to any 89th Airlift Wing aircraft landing at Joint Base Andrews, Md. on January 26, 2025. Aircrew followed Air Traffic Control instructions and landed uneventfully."

In the audio, the ATC operator can be heard telling the pilots of SAM47: "You can expect some delay, I have a scramble in progress" before he tells the Coast Guard helicopter, callsign 'BLACKJACK01', and the F-16s, callsign 'BRAVE01', that the target of interest was a "potential drone." Later in the clip, the operator addresses a second F-16, BRAVE02.
