(25,126 posts)Trumps Boeing 757 entered service in 1991 meaning its an older plane.
The maximum range for the 757-200 is less than 4,000 miles while Palm Beach-Moscow is about 5,700 miles. Hed have to refuel but where?
Sorry, but I love aviation trivia! I know your post was tongue-in-cheek.
Heres some more information if youre a nerd like me:

(4,002 posts)I couldnt help but notice the giant American flag on the tail that replaced the T he had earlier. Im surprised it wasnt a Confederate flag or Swastika flag though . Mightve been more appropriate considering the owner.

(24,903 posts)NYC to Riyadh is 6500, so it would have to stop for fuel.
But he isnt going anywhere. I bet he is convinced he will get re-elected, and being president was the best thing that ever happened to that asshole.

A HERETIC I AM
(24,903 posts)But I think hes too chickenshit to actually leave.
His narcissism is so profound he is likely sure he will be exonerated.
One pundit on MSNBC yesterday said that prior to today, the idea of indicting a president was unprecedented.
Yeah? Well now its not, and I see today as the first turn on the wheel controlling the floodgates. I have a feeling the Georgia cases and the Federal cases (Jan 6 etc.) will be coming shortly.
