In reply to the discussion: Trump begs for money for his plane after 'emergency landing' [View all]markpkessinger
(8,927 posts)13. This was not Trump's personal aircraft . . .
Per the Washington post:
The plane belonged to a donor who loaned it to Trump for the evening, according to people familiar with the matter. The planes tail number was linked to a Utah-based company that is the trustee for more than 1,400 planes. The donors identity could not be immediately verified.

If he doesn't get a new plane by Christmas, is God going to "call him home"?

I think that engine might just be a spare, or else he got a temp cert to make one flight.

Sounds like when Dump said he'd get a new, bigger Yacht as the Trump Princess was repossessed.
