write off the cost of that airplane on her taxes? As in, not just the fuel burned on the trips, but depreciation and the salaries of crew, etc. who may also be used on personal flights? And does the line blur at all on what's government business and personal business or pleasure use? Does she write off the plane for personal trips by simply visiting a school in the area? Easy to do since schools are pretty much everywhere.
