The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a wing-clip incident at West Palm Beach International Airport which occurred on May 12, involving former president Donald Trumps Boeing 757.
A privately owned Boeing 757 landed safely at West Palm Beach International Airport around 1:20 a.m. local time on Sunday, May 12, the FAA stated.
At the request of Donald Trump, details of his private fights are not published by flight tracking sites. However, the Aviation Safety Foundations incident record shows the flight took off from Atlantic City International Airport in New Jersey. While taxiing, its winglet contacted a parked and unoccupied corporate jet, the FAA stated. The incident occurred in an area of the airport where the FAA does not direct aircraft. The FAA is investigating.
The aircraft involved is N757AF, registered to DJT Operations I LLC, a Donald Trump company. The number is visible in white on dark blue on the tail side of the aircraft which the former president has nicknamed Trump Force One. According to the FAAs incident report, the Boeing 757 winglet struck a corporate jet owned by VistaJet. There were no reported injuries, though the extent of the damage to either aircraft is unknown.
