Does a viral video really show President Trump's Air Force One doing several flyovers of an aircraft carrier to honor the Navy personnel on it? No, that's not true: The video was digitally created by an online artist who goes by the name "Iceman Fox1." Their channel on YouTube says it publishes "Mixed reality digital aviation videos."
A copy of the video appeared in a post on X (archived here) published on March 10, 2025, with a description that read:
Air Force One does multiple flyovers for Military Personnel aboard the Navy aircraft carrier stations outside of the Washington DC Region. What a great thing to do for morale. He definitely loves the Military.
