A HERETIC I AM

Don JR. and Eric reportedly used the 757 (N757AF) a few times after TFG took office, but they parked it in 2019 at Stewart Int'l Airport in Newburgh, New York, about 50 air miles north of LaGuardia, where it was previously kept. It sat at Stewart for 2 years, much of the time with an engine removed for "service"

They couldn't locate one (or afford to) to make it airworthy, but in November of last year an engine was installed and they got a special ferrying permit to move it to Louisiana.

So on November 1st they flew a ferry flight down to Chennault International Airport in Lake Charles, Louisiana for maintenance. That flight had to make a stop in Nashville for some issue (a light on the dashboard! ) that was resolved, and the flight continued about an hour later.




If you do a Google search for the location of N757AF, you won't find it listed, because Trumpy refuses to allow public geo-locating of the plane, which honestly, is understandable. He's not the only person or entity that does that. It is trackable when it is flying, as evidenced in the above tweet.

The above information was gathered from news stories at the time of the ferry flight.
