As Donald Trump's campaign for the White House kicks into high gear, the bombastic billionaire will be jetting across America on his private Boeing 757-200 airliner. Unlike most presidential candidates, The Donald actually owns his campaign plane.
"Trump Force One" — as some have dubbed the jet — will be one of the most visible symbols of Trump's run for the Oval Office.
Trump has owned the Boeing airliner— registration N757FA — since 2011 and has customized the aircraft to his liking.
Have a closer look at Donald Trump's personal Boeing 757-200 jet.

“bombastic billionaire”
Really?
And what a lovely tour guide.
I have to give Trump credit- his plane looks better than AF-1. Probably because the colors weren’t chosen by Jackie Kennedy.
I remember when the big thing was for corporations and businessmen to buy 727s - Cheaper than the Gulfstreams and Lears.

What do you mean ‘most’? Who else has ever owned their own campaign jet?
Yes she was :) I almost never noticed the plane
I want one.
His money; his ride. No problem here.
Steve Forbes, perhaps.
That guy that founded EDS. Ross Perot?
John Kerry's second wife's first husband's trust fund owned "The Flying Squirrel".
It says He had a 727 until 2011 when they bought this one, used, and customized it. Very interesting.
I flew in some corporate jets this year and a number of them were time shared with other companies. I was in a Gulfstream early this year and 4 companies owned it so they have to synchronize with each other.
Future First Lady on board?
yes, really- an “alliterative author”, or a a “rhyming reporter” if you will.

A 727 is a fuel guzzler and loud by today’s standards, but I believe it’s one of the fastest passenger jets.
The tour chick said Trump’s plane has a 16 hour range. Darn Good.
I’d say it’s modest considering Trump’s wealth, especially if he bought it used (I think Trump used to have a 727). The Google guys bought 767’s.
Well, you can’t exactly become a billionaire by standing in a corner like a potted plant! ;)
Well Nelson Rockefeller for one. Kennedy had a plane but I don’t think it was a jet. Turbo-prop maybe.
Lest we forget Ross Perot, not sure what kind of jet he had, Gulfstream perhaps.
Personal entertainment systems convert into beds?
AMAZING!
