As Trump flew to JBER aboard Air Force One, Putin arrived in Alaska aboard an Il-96-30 0 The PU, which is the main Russian presidential plane for long travel, preceded by other support planes, including a Tu-214 The PU holding members of his delegation.

The long-awaited meeting did not produce the truce Trump had demanded: Putin was met with red carpet, an impressive flight from a B-2 and four F-35s, and a joint scene with the US president.

Interestingly, after the talks, Il-96-30 0 Putin's PU was accompanied by US Air Force F-35A while leaving US airspace on its return route to Russia.
