Air traffic controllers repeatedly urged the pilots of Spirit Airlines flight 1300 to turn away from Air Force One, which was carrying President Trump to the United Kingdom, as the planes were flying over Long Island, New York.
Preliminary flight data from
flightradar24.com indicates the Spirit Airbus A321 and Air Force One were flying parallel to each other eight miles apart, and were 11 miles apart when they were on the closest path where they could converge. The Spirit flight was traveling from Fort Lauderdale to Boston.
