Netflix will release a documentary on September 4 about 
Donald Trump's secret departure from Turkey in July, when he was shuttled by catering truck to a different aircraft. Titled "The Decoy Plane" and part of Netflix's Instadocs series, the film explores the White House's elaborate ruse with footage from and interviews with reporters who were aboard Air Force One, Variety reported.
How did the switch happen? Trump, who Variety reported was captured on camera boarding Air Force One as he left a NATO summit, slipped out the other side and onto a catering truck that took him to another aircraft. Reporters stayed on board, unaware the president was no longer with them. He had announced he would leave Turkey on an older version of Air Force One rather than the luxury 747-8 donated by Qatar that flew him in. Instead he was taken to a military jet, then secretly moved back to the older Air Force One, filled with reporters, during a stop in Britain.
What happened once it came to light? Reports after the fact said the White House had deceived the public because of threats against Trump from Iran, Variety reported. When the details came to light, he faced backlash for deceiving reporters and putting them, along with White House staff, in potential danger.
What does the film show? "I see those catering vehicles up against the side of Air Force One … I have never seen that before," Alex Brandon, the Associated Press's chief White House photographer, said in the trailer. Once the journalists had boarded after the president and taken their seats, "We're told by the White House staff that we should lower our window shades," said Gram Slattery, White House national security correspondent for Reuters. Asked why, staffers said, "Secret Service says to," which raised Brandon's "Spidey sense."
