Trump stages dramatic flyby in massive private jet
Daily Mail ^ | 01/30/16 | David Martosko

Posted on 01/30/2016 1:02:14 PM PST by Enlightened1

Speaking on the frosted tundra of the Dubuque, Iowa regional airport, Donald Trump returned to Iowa to a hero's welcome as his hulking Boeing 757 staged a dramatic flyby before landing on a tiny airstrip.

Then he offered children the chance to run through the airplane.

'This is now crunch time!' he told screaming fans gathered at the mouth of a hangar. 'This is what it's all about. We have to get out there and caucus and do all the things we have to do, otherwise we've just wasted our time.'

Then he said he had 'a little bit of an idea,' asking if there were kids under age 10 present.

'Without their parents,' Trump insisted, 'we'll let them run through the plane!'

No it isn’t. He gave those people, especially the kids, something to remember the rest of their lives. Vote Trump.

My daughter met Donald Trump and Melania while working for an MLB team years ago. She said they were very gracious, easy going guests, unlike some of the other VIPs.

Of course, it would need a new paint job to display United States of America instead of just plain "Trump".

Therefore it's unlikely. My hope is that he will take his own darn plane to his vacations instead of robbing the treasury like the O's. But again; security trumps Trump in this matter.

Me too. I love planes anyway and seeing that in person would have been great.

And I did not ping MagUSNRET; he or she apparently mistook seeing my ping to other people as being a ping to herself/himself.

Nor did I ping you, UCANSEE2. But you know you want me to...

I appreciate that. No one is better than anyone else. I am a talker. Years ago, I went to LV with my husband to a computer convention. I was not feeling well but wanted to see the exhibit. I walked around for a little while and went to a small room to sit down. A few minutes later, a man walked in. We talked for maybe 30 minutes and my husband walked back in just as he was leaving. DR asked me if I knew the man. I said, nope, no clue. He was the President of a huge computer company. I don’t care what people do for a living. I like a saying someone posted on FB. “ Be nice to people you meet on the way up, because you may meet them on the way down.”

My late brother was stationed there right before he had to get out of the USAF. He flew through mushroom clouds during bomb testing. He and his group all suffered from radiation poisoning. He was the last one to die. He loved flying. He joined when he was 15 and was on Greenland on his 16th birthday. A little story. He had a runway on his farm. He was taking off one day, something happened and he ended upside down in a tree at the end of the runway. He was truly one of a kind. He was my hero.

Carson has signed zero. [paychecks]

That's not accurate. Dr. Carson has had staff for many years. He has been in demand as a motivational speaker since he wrote his first book back in the early 90s. He has published 6 bestsellers, many articles in peer-reviewed medical journals and has had a newspaper column and a contract commentator on FoxNews. He has received literally hundreds of awards, so he has many travel arrangements and bookings.

He and his wife also have a staff to run their charity, Carson Scholars Fund that helps underprivileged kids (of many colors) get an education. They founded it in 1994 and have dispensed 6,700 scholarship awards. When my community group engaged him to speak around 15 years ago, we dealt with his staff to make the arrangements.
