An intruder who gained access to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland made his way onto a C-40 aircraft that is sometimes used to transport the President, the Air Force Times reports.
The intruder spent an unknown amount of time on the jet, which is painted in the familiar blue and white color scheme of the larger presidential Boeing 747. The plane, designated Air Force One when the President is on it, is a smaller jet used by the President to fly to smaller airports.
“The security of our installation is paramount,” said Col. Roy Oberhaus, the vice wing commander of the 316th Wing at Joint Base Andrews, said in a statement. “This was a serious breach of security and Joint Base Andrews is investigating the incident to determine how this happened so it doesn’t happen again.”
The man was given a federal summons for trespassing by the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations and then turned over to Prince George’s County (Maryland) Police.
