New York (CNN)Donald Trump is known for his larger-than-life personality, a trait visible from his fleet of aircraft: A large commercial sized plane, a corporate jet and two helicopters.
The largest is a Boeing 757-200 and emblazoned with "Trump" in golden letters and a huge red "T" on the four story tall tail.
In a commercial configuration it could carry as many as 228 passengers if it were filled with economy seats, but there's nothing "economy" about this plane.
Trump's 757 is designed to carry 43 passengers secured with 24 caret gold plated seat belts, according to a video tour of the aircraft his company posted in 2011. It features a dining room, big screen TVs, a master and a guest bedroom and even a shower.
"Everything that they did on it is very very spectacular." John Dunkin, Trump's pilot told the Smithsonian Channel's Mighty Planes. "It's very fast airplane for a large airplane. It's extremely comfortable. It takes turbulence very well. It's kind of like the Ferrari in the airline category airplane."
Trump also owns a Cessna Citation X corporate jet designed to seat 12.
Trump also owns two Sikorsky S-76B helicopters built in 1989 and 1992.

I think he bought the 757 from paul allen and then had it gone through adding all the gold.Good for him and I’m sure that employed more than a few people.
If someone stole silverware or china from El Trumpo’s plane would they be fired?
Freedom is exactly that, not anyone telling you what you can do, cannot do, cannot own, and what you must do to appease your masters in the government. Suck it CNN, as usual you have no clue and never let the truth get in the way of your communist agenda. Put that in your bong with your delta-9-tetro hydrocannbinol and smoke it. Go to hell while you are at it.
This is out to hurt Trump!
like the guy, Im a Cruz man.
However, screw you low info idiots!
I want two of them!!!!!
Jimmy Fallon spent FIFTEEN MINUTES of his show tonight attacking and ridiculing Trump.
Among THE QUOTES, “Donald Trump, you’re fired! you’re DONE...”
NBC has gone full retard in trying to drive Trump’s negatives up with the low-infos, attacking him mercilessly across ALL of their networks.
If he’s elected, he could save the taxpayers a lot of money by flying his own aircraft, and not using Air Force One, or Two.
He paid for it with his own money as he does for everything else. It is his business what he does.
Ill bet he is demanding but pays well.
Trump with his helicopter...and hair!
He says it’s his own hair. The video I watched of him and I guess it was from the Apprentice, his little boy was 18 months in it - Barron is his name. He has the same hair as the Donald. LOL
That’s his Old 727. He moved up, the 757 is a Workhorse and it used to be Madame Pelosi’s favorite Taxpayer Funded Jet.
She didn’t care for those small G500’s. The Bar in them wasn’t big enough for her and her Entourage.
That must be from a long time ago!
I often listen to Redeye Radio, a late-nite radio show that caters to the trucker crowd. I usually agree with their conservative views, but they have been trying to deflate the Trump phenomenon for a few weeks now. Not big stuff, but little barbs, like insinuating that he’s a liar, but not explicitly saying so. Makes me want to call up Eric and Gary and remind them, to paraphrase Moe Green, that Donald Trump made his bones when the both of them were still going out with cheerleaders.
Yep...He’s been traveling in style for awhile now...LOLOL
