Marine One Helicopter Carrying Trump Flies Too Close to Passenger Jet, FAA Plans Probe The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched an investigation into a close call between Marine One, the helicopter carrying President Donald Trump, and a passenger jet near Reagan National Airport on Tuesday afternoon.
The incident raises questions about whether safety protocols put in place after last year's deadly collision are being followed. One of the most striking aspects of this incident is its similarity to past mistakes.
In January 2025, a midair collision between an American Airlines jet and an Army helicopter near Reagan National Airport resulted in the loss of 67 lives.
