Report: Military maps out evacuation route for Trump in NYC

The three military aircraft seen flying over New York City last week were taking part in mapping out potential escape routes for President-elect Donald Trump, two sources told CNN on Thursday.

The law enforcement officials told the news source that the HC-130 search-and-rescue plane and two HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopters were conducting surveillance operations that included taking photos of rooftops and streets for the Secret Service.

The sight of the flying aircraft above the city frightened many New Yorkers last week who were not notified about the military operation beforehand.
