空軍一號於10月29日白宮萬聖節派對期間在白宮南草坪周邊進行2次低空飛行,引發居民擔憂並造成航班延誤。
美國民主黨聯邦參議員達克沃斯(Tammy Duckworth)2日發表聲明,譴責白宮近日進行的空軍一號(Air Force One)低空飛越行動,並致函美國聯邦航空總署(FAA)署長貝德福(Bryan Bedford)、白宮管理及預算局(OMB)局長伏特(Russell Vought)以及國防部長赫格塞斯,要求川普政府交代空軍一號為何獲准在白宮上空低空飛行。
根據《國會山報》報導,這次低空飛越行動發生於白宮10月29日舉辦萬聖節派對期間,空軍一號在白宮南草坪周邊進行了2次低空飛行。1名美國聯邦航空總署官員表示,這些飛行活動事前已與該機構進行協調。華盛頓特區議會在社群媒體上證實,任何位於華盛頓特區市中心或在雷根華盛頓國家機場(DCA)附近的人,在飛機飛越前15分鐘便已收到通知。
達克沃斯指出,空軍一號的2次低空飛越驚動居民,引發多通911緊急電話通報,並迫使雷根華盛頓國家機場暫停地面航班作業,導致超過200個航班延誤。她在致貝德福、伏特及赫格塞斯的信上寫說「對白宮南草坪上的孩子們來說,這或許是一份驚喜。但對位於華盛頓的其他人而言,這是一場惡作劇,危險、昂貴且不負責任。」
達克沃斯接著稱「2001年9月11日的恐怖事件中,1架遭劫持的民航客機撞上五角大廈。此次事件中許多民眾因擔心遭到襲擊而撥打911求助,而白宮堅稱這次低空飛越帶來歡樂。請去告訴那些撥打911的人,這就是他們所感受到的歡樂。」
達克沃斯最後說「這個國家得到的不是驚喜,而是一場偽裝成禮物的惡作劇。這也再次提醒我們,這位不負責任的總統比起關心美國人民的實際需求,更在意拿自己的玩具來取悅孩子。」
達克沃斯向貝德福、伏特及赫格塞斯提出質疑,要求他們20日前說明這次低空飛越行動在執行前所經過的核准程序,是否遵循適當的通知程序。她也要求相關單位提供「納稅人因此承擔的完整費用明細」。
