Yes. On September 9, 2026, military personnel accidentally triggered an inflatable emergency slide on the Qatari-donated Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews just before President Donald Trump was due to board for a flight to Dallas for the GOP midterm convention, a person briefed on the matter told NBC News.
Trump waited aboard Marine One, then told reporters workers were “checking the slide” and that there were no security concerns. The slide was deflated and removed; the plane later landed safely in Dallas around 5:15 p.m. ET, a couple of hours later than expected.
