Take a look inside a G700, Gulfstream's jet of choice for billionaires that Kristi Noem just bought for DHS
After President Donald Trump accepted a $400 million Boeing 747 from Qatar earlier this year, it looks like Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wants a set of wings of her own.
Last week, the Department of Homeland Security said it planned to purchase new planes. They're not your typical private jets. The Department of Homeland Security entered into a contract to purchase two US-made Gulfstream G700s for $172 million on Friday, The New York Times reported.
The taxpayer-funded planes will be used by Noem, as well as other high-ranking DHS personnel, said a release put out by the Coast Guard, which is part of DHS. They're replacing decades-old planes that "experienced 30 days of unplanned maintenance, with six missions requiring unplanned cancellation," the release said.
It did not address the fact that the Coast Guard took delivery of a new Gulfstream G550 in 2022 for use by Department of Homeland Security senior officials for the same purposes of supervising operations and communicating securely.
