(CNN) —The Iowa State Fair won't allow Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to give kids free rides on his helicopter on fairgrounds, but the real estate developer has secured a nearby location.

The helicopter will take off from a parking lot outside the fair in Des Moines, campaign state chairman Chuck Laudner told CNN on Friday, adding that Trump may hop on a few rides as well.

CNN previously reported that the Sikorsky is one of three that he owns, seats 12 people comfortably, including the pilot.

Trump will arrive in the $7 million helicopter before holding a press event

this is the “attitude” that America needs ...

Iran ... pay close attention if Trump is elected president ...

Trump plays to “win” ... which is why George Will is pooping his pants ...

Yes, it is. A couple of FReepers predicted that the helicopter rides would go on...to the dismay of GOPe *leaders* and pundits.

The free press is certainly worth the cost.

Would painting it white and powder blue be premature?

I saw a documentary on Trump’s private plane a while back. If I recall correctly it was a 757. The plane was meticulously maintained and very luxurious. If the helicopter is anything like that then a ride would probably be quite the experience.

GOP had nothing to do with it. Iowa State Fairgrounds space is contracted out years in advance. A few small spaces are held open for last minute favors, but large helicopter space? No way. The Iowa State Fair is a really big deal in Iowa. Not much like it except the Minnesota State Fair.

Will Drumpf actually land three blocks away from the state fair, or will be channel LBJ and fly over with a sound system? I can see Drumpf flying over and addressing the crowd: “I love all you Iowans. ... Especially the women ... especially the fat ones ... the ones who look better on their knees ... and the ones with blood shooting out of they whatevers. Thanks you. God Bless Donald Trumpf ... but then I would be blessing Myself!”

The gopE would love to see a crash. I truly believe that. That’s how strongly I believe in their evilness.
