Spirit Airlines Told: 'Get off iPad' While Almost Scaring Trumpās 747
On September 16, 2025, Spirit Airlines Flight 1300 decided to audition for the role of 'Air Force One's shadow' by flying a tad too close over Long Island, while Trumpās VC-25A Boeing 747 majestically glided from Joint Base Andrews to the UK. The irate air traffic controller, obviously moonlighting as a tough-love parenting coach, barked at the Spirit pilots four times: 'Pay attention. Get off the iPad.' Because apparently, 9,000 feet below the presidential jet is NOT a WiFi zone for browsing TikTok. Meanwhile, Trump landed safely at London Stansted at 9 p.m., ready to discuss AI billion-dollar deals with King Charles III ā hopefully away from any distracted pilots and rebellious tablets.

Nothing says āpresidential protectionā like a Spirit Airlines pilot too busy with their iPad to notice Air Force One breathing down their cockpit. Mr. Controllerās deadpan 'Get off the iPad' should be issued as a policy nationwide.
When Spirit Airlines pilots get told 'Get off the iPad' mid-flight, you know Air Force One's got more VIP security than your local Starbucks wifi.
Air traffic controller calling out Spirit 1300 for iPad distraction is the 2025 version of āCan you not?ā Hope those AI deals in the UK are more on point than those pilotsā focus.
