An emergency-slide deployment on the Qatari-gifted Air Force One raised questions at Joint Base Andrews on Wednesday before President Donald Trump<\/a> revealed it was all part of a safety check.<\/p>\n

“They were checking it before, and they just wanted to make sure,” Trump told reporters on the tarmac after exiting Marine One<\/a>. “So they\u2019ve, I guess, already put it up. They want to make sure everything works perfectly.”<\/p>\n

The unusual scene unfolded after Marine One rolled to a stop near the presidential aircraft, with Trump remaining aboard the helicopter as the slide could be seen extending from the plane.<\/p>\n

The White House<\/a> print pool reported spotting what appeared to be an inflatable emergency slide deployed<\/a> from the right-side front door of the Qatari-gifted Boeing 747<\/a>. The door is opposite the entrance Trump typically uses to board the plane.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the older white-and-blue Air Force One<\/a> was seen moving out of its hangar and into position a few hundred yards behind the newer aircraft. The older jet then deployed its front and rear stairs.<\/p>\n

The door of Marine One remained closed as of 2:19 p.m., according to the pool, fueling questions about whether the unexpected slide deployment had disrupted the president\u2019s travel plans.<\/p>\n

Trump later emerged from the helicopter and said the equipment had been tested to ensure it was working properly, indicating there had not been an emergency aboard the aircraft<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear whether the safety check would affect which plane Trump would use for his next flight.<\/p>\n
