The aircraft known as “Trump Force One” has returned to the skies.
Former President Donald Trump’s personal Boeing 757 aircraft was spotted landing in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Wednesday, according to CNN.
The jet had been undergoing renovations at a Louisiana aircraft maintenance facility.

Flight record data obtained by CNN indicates that the jet had been running pattern flights above Lake Charles, Louisiana, likely in tests preceding its return to full use.
“It is common after a plane has had upgrades — or other new equipment or general avionic tweaks — for pilots to make a series of test flights to ensure safety and function,” said former National Transportation Safety Board official Peter Goelz.
The jet arrived at an airport 15 minutes away from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, according to CNN. Its new location likely indicates that Trump intends to return it to regular use.
The plane received some cosmetic changes during its period of renovation.

GO TRUMP GO
The only cosmetic change I’ve seen noted is an American flag on the tail.
So looks like it's already back in use.
That’s top of the heap, Shiekh level lifestyle.
The sort I will never know about first hand.
His personal 757 aircraft!
He should have added shark's teeth like on the front of the P40 Warhawk....that would've been cool !
Upgraded with Rolls Royce engines at some point.
Generally speaking other than paint jobs you can’t make many changes to an aircraft.
Most times you need a STC if you modify it from that which was FAA certified.
That is why Toilet seats cost $500.
Boeing Experimental Flight test for 20 plus years.
I’ve done my share of FAA paperwork.
“1 Key Change May Signal What He’s Doing Next”
You won’t believe what happens next after you use the one little trick!
He should have repainted it in the colors he proposed as the new Air Force One, that the Biden Administration has nixed.

Or a lion’s head roaring :)
Seriously? An American flag signals a re-election effort? Lame.
Rolls is the only engine certified for a 57.
No price comparrison shopping between Walmart and Target for him! No visits to those grimy Salvaged Engine yards either.
That is beautiful!
pratt & Whitney has one as well
“You won’t believe what happens next after you use the one little trick”
Haha. That was my first thought too.
“ Upgraded with Rolls Royce engines at some point.”
Not an upgrade. RR makes fancy, beautiful cars however, their turbine engines are no better than GE or even Pratt.
That’s one good-looking airplane.
