A Spirit Airlines pilot was sharply reprimanded by an air traffic controller after flying too close-within about eight miles-to Air Force One, which was carrying former President Donald Trump over New york en route to the United Kingdom. Live air traffic control<\/a> audio revealed that Spirit Flight 1300, traveling from Fort Lauderdale to Boston, was repeatedly instructed to change course. The controller’s increasingly frustrated tone included telling the pilot to “pay attention” and to “get off the iPad,” implying inattentiveness during a critical moment in restricted airspace.Despite the tension, aviation officials confirmed that safe separation was maintained throughout. Spirit Airlines stated the flight followed protocol and landed safely, while the FAA is reviewing the incident. The event gained attention on social media due to the directness of the controller’s remarks.
