Air Force One made two low-altitude passes — between 400 and 1,000 feet — over the White House on Thursday evening, forcing a temporary ground stop at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport that delayed around 202 flights, equivalent to 26% of the day's departures. DC's council said residents at the Pentagon and the airport received just 15 minutes' notice, while a previous flyover over Arlington Cemetery had been announced nearly 24 hours in advance.

Residents called 911 and posted on X that the aircraft appeared to be heading into buildings, with some fearing a 9/11-style attack.

The White House celebrated the stunt on social media, posting footage of Trump and Melania waving at the plane as a cover of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' played.

The Qatar-gifted Boeing 747 flew in two directions — the second pass appearing suddenly from behind the White House, amplifying the shock for those on the ground.
