Trump Airplane
The Boeing 757-200 is registered in the United States as N757AF and was built in 1991. It was originally delivered to Denmark's Sterling Airlines and by 1993 was operated by Mexico's TAESA. In 1995, it became a corporate jet for Paul Allen's enterprises. Trump's DJT Operations I LLC bought the plane in 2011. The plane is 155 feet long with a wingspan of 124 feet, and height of 44.5 feet. The fuel capacity is 11,489 gallons providing a range of 4,500 miles. Maximum altitude is 40,000 feet. Cruising speed is 528 mph, with max of 570 mph. The aircraft has two Rolls-Royce RB211 turbofan engines and is configured to seat 43 people. It has a dining room, bathroom, shower, bedroom, guest room, and galley. Many fixtures are plated in 24k gold.

Stand out features on the craft include polished shiny aluminum edges, the big American flag on vertical of the plane, and the specialized gold-metallic Trump logo. “As it turns out, it’s the nicest 757 Landlock aviation has ever painted, and one of the best aircrafts I’ve painted in my 28 year career,” Grenzebach said.
