FWIW I saw it parked out on the tarmac at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport in early December so it is apparently getting used for something. ---

This is General Questions, so I dasn’t get political. The FAA shows that both his [757](http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNum_Results.aspx?NNumbertxt=757AF) and [Cessna](http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNum_Results.aspx?NNumbertxt=725DT) are owned by Trump companies. I’ve [read](https://www.cnbc.com/2015/03/17/inside-donald-trumps-7-million-private-chopper.html) that the Sikorsky was bought also. If you recall, during the campaign that fact that the registration on his Cessna had expired was deemed worthy of extensive news coverage. ---

Even if you are a billionaire there’s no reason to leave large amounts of money on the table. ---

An update: > **[Donald Trump's Boeing 757 rehabbed and back in West Palm Beach | CNN Politics](https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/21/politics/trump-force-one-west-palm-beach/index.html)** > > Whether Donald Trump is prepared to take-off on another bid for the presidency remains up in the air, but his fabled Boeing 757 is definitely getting off the ground.
