Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump's private Boeing 757 sitting idle in disrepair at New York airport: report [View all]
Former President Trump's personal Boeing 757 is sitting unused at an Orange County, New York airport, unable to be flown, CNN reports.
The full-size passenger airliner, which bears Trump's name across the side in large block letters, has fallen into disrepair. One engine is shrink-wrapped and the other is missing parts, according to the outlet.
Getting the plane, which was 20 years old when Trump purchased it in 2010, back into flying shape could reportedly cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Flight records obtained by CNN signal that Trump hasn't used the plane since leaving office in January.
Trump's Boeing 757 was a staple during his 2016 presidential campaign. Since becoming a private citizen, he's been flying on his smaller 1997 Cessna 750 Citation X corporate jet, according to CNN.

That's sad, that plane deserves better.

OP
They'd better not re-use any parts in another airplane without sageing those parts.

Apparently, QANTAS offered him a 747, but he concluded he wouldn't be able to pay for the upkeep
