Donald Trump wasn't president at the time, Obama was. Only Air Force aircraft are called Air Force One and only when the president is on board. When he flies on a Marine Corps helicopter, it's called Marine One. If he flies on a civilian aircraft, it's called Executive One.

When Obama was in the Oval Office with Reggie it was called Hot Room One.

If I remember right when she was speaker the last time, she had access to a Gulfstream G3 to fly home every weekend but didn’t like it so traded it in for a G5. Supposedly she also racked up $100,000 liquor gill at that time...all at tax payer expense.

Some folks would rather give the Main Stream enemy Media a click
than give an ally a click and help enable them to grow.

I’m not one of them.
Thanks for posting

EXCERPT Pelosi racked up huge bills using tax dollars to fly family members, free, in the US Govt's Air Force One plane.

The USAF records reveal a number of trips made by Pelosi in 2010 obtained by J/W in July 2011, detailing:
<><> expense summaries,
<><>flight manifests,
<><> copies of receipts, and
<><> Congressional correspondence.

Documents obtained by J/W in January 2019, show that a 2015 trip taken by Pelosi cost taxpayers a whopping $184,587.81. The documents obtained in 2011 include:
<><> A May 6-10, 2010, Congressional Delegation to Afghanistan and Germany “to discuss issues of mutual interest in Qatar and Afghanistan, <> conduct oversight on women’s issues (troops) in Afghanistan
<><> to visit with US troops
<><> meet with government officials in Germany.”

The total cost of military travel was $204,135.00.

The records indicate then-Speaker Pelosi made a personal request that the “maximum per diem allowance be made available at the enhanced rate of an additional $50.”

At the end of his term, Clinton took 3,000 democrats to China with him.
It took ¼ of the USAF C-17’s. There is a VIP pod that goes in the 17 to carry passengers. The entourage did not have to go through Customs on their return.

Pelosi had an underling buy some booze at Costco so Pelosi could approve and pay for it out of her budget. If DoD bought it, the President would have to approve the expenditure.

The Air Force stopped Pelosi from using Travis AFB because it was not set up to be used by civilian passengers. She had to go to SFO. Travis is close to her Napa enclave and she could avoid San Francisco traffic.

The Air Force had plane and crew ready to go on weekends many times
and she was a no-show without notice or explanation.

She is the poster child for term limits.

J/W found numerous trips were made by Speaker Pelosi between her home base, San Francisco, and DC's Andrews Air Force Base.
Several trips included Pelosi’s family, including her husband, daughter, granddaughters and son-in law.

<><> One “Staff Summary Sheet” detailing a January 4, 2010, flight from San Francisco to Andrews Air Force Base notes that Pelosi’s daughter Christina “owes for $99.00 (flight) and $7.82 (meal).”

<><>The documents suggest that the Speaker’s office was billed for the fees but do not indicate whether the bills were paid.

=====================================

A January 7-11, 2010, Congressional Delegation to Detroit, Michigan, for the expressed purpose of reviewing “the impact of congressional appropriations and policy in promoting innovation, technological development and job creation in US auto industry.”

The Detroit trip required $24,336.60 in commercial air travel and an additional $10,046.87 in expenses.

The Pentagon (read taxpayers) also paid for military escorts. One document notes that the mode of transportation for the trip would be “Comair and Milair,” (commercial air travel and military air travel).

However, the only cost related to the military portion of the transportation detailed in the records is a $15,000 advance (tax dollars) secured for (A) ground transportation, (B) meals and (C) lodging.

A total of 24 House Members (16 Democrats, 8 Republicans), led by then-Speaker Pelosi and then-Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD), were on the list of trip participants.

Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) drove himself to Detroit and sought $228 in mileage reimbursement.

Why would you be surprised? Pelosi is evil and has no sense of decency or truth. Do not know why she needs an airplane. She is also a witch with many brooms. Should use what defines you.

Air Force One(s), and the fleet of lux jets the military keeps for Congress, are under control of the White House. President Obama may have allowed Pelosi family to fly, but Pelosi can only make a request that has to be signed off on in the White House.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good luck on getting President Trump to sign off on that, Nancy.

I bet ALL of Congress lives and spends this way.

This is why we are a nation in a mountain of debt.

Our “Represents” live like Liberace all the time and EXPECT us to keep footing the bills.

Whenever they want raises, THEY vote themselves raises.

Doesnt matter that average Americans PAYING for that raise havent had one themselves in 8 years...

We need to start over with the system we began this nation with.

If she got the benefits and didn’t pay for them, is that subject to taxes?
Maybe the IRS should look into it.

Sounds like Grand Larceny at the least. If one of us stole that much from the guberment we’d be looking for daylight. Arrest the crook for it.

According to a 2011 report by Judicial Watch, the documents uncovered show that Pelosi used the Air Force aircraft for a total of 43 trips, covering 90,155 miles, from January 1 through October 1, 2010.

One of Pelosi’s taxpayer-funded trips cost $184,587.81, documents show.

Judicial Watch, through FOIA, continues to pursue other records related to Pelosi’s use of Air Force aircraft.

Exactly. Air Force 1, abbreviated A1, is a call sign, not an aircraft.
