Air traffic controllers ordered the crew of a Boston-bound Spirit Airlines flight to alter course “immediately” after their jet got too close to Air Force One in the skies over Long Island. Air Force One, carrying President Trump and first lady Melania Trump to a state visit to the United Kingdom, was at 32,000 feet over the North Shore when Spirit Flight 1300 was somewhere over the Massapequa area at 32,000 feet.
