On October 29, 2026, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump hosted a trick-or-treating event at the White House South Lawn. The couple handed out candy to 6,000 children dressed in various costumes. Air Force One made two flyovers during the event, one of which was conducted unusually low over Washington, D.C., causing panic among residents and prompting several 911 calls. This unexpected maneuver led to flight delays and criticism from local authorities for insufficient notice given beforehand. The White House later shared a video of the dramatic flyover on social media, while some officials criticized the lack of advance warning provided to the public.
