September 16, 2025 8:05 pm Does Air Force One have a flight tracker? Josh Milton We know that Donald Trump’s plane will land in Stansted at roughly 8.30pm. But if you’re hoping to track the president’s plane, known as Air Force One, it might be a tad tricky. Air Force One – the call sign for whatever plane the president is travelling aboard – is a Boeing VC-25, a military version of the Boeing 747 airliner.But like other high-profile aircraft, Air Force One can’t be tracked like most commercial flights. On the plane’s page on the aviation tracker, FlightRadar24, no flight routes or data are displayed.

In roughly an hour, Donald Trump will land in the UK for his second-ever state visit. And it starts off sufficiently British, to say the least. The president of the United States is landing at Stansted Airport, which doesn’t exactly rank too high in lists of the country’s best airports. Afterwards, however, it gets slightly classier. His two-day visit, hosted by King Charles and Queen Camilla, will see Trump visit Windsor Castle tomorrow. Trump will watch a fly-past by the Red Arrows, the aerobatics display team of the Royal Air Force, before seeing the Beating Retreat, a colourful military ceremony. On Thursday, Trump will travel to Chequers, Keir Starmer’s country home, and will also hold a news conference with the prime minister. He’ll remain at Windsor, ending the trip by joining Catherine, Princess of Wales, at Frogmore Gardens for an event with the Scouts Association.You can read more about Trump’s state visit here.
