President Trump's Air Force One, which he was traveling on Tuesday night, returned to Maryland due to "electrical problems" during its flight to Europe and landed safely, raising concerns about the aging of the presidential aircraft. The White House stated that the return was "cautious." The involved plane is a Boeing 747-200B, part of the VC-25A program, which was put into service in 1991 and is one of the two current presidential aircraft, both of which are over 30 years old. Afterward, Trump switched to a backup plane and continued to Switzerland an hour later to attend the World Economic Forum. Analysts pointed out that even with high maintenance levels, old models still need to be handled according to regulations when warning signs appear.
