Neem een kijkje in de opgeknapte privéjet van Donald Trump

Na twee jaar vliegt de beroemde Boeing 757 privé-jet van Donald Trump weer.
Het 100 miljoen dollar kostende toestel heeft een flinke verfbeurt gekregen en enkele nieuwe onderdelen.
De ‘Trump Force One’ zal Trump in aanloop naar de presidentsverkiezingen ongetwijfeld van de ene verkiezingsbijeenkomst naar de andere vliegen.

Toen hij president was van de Verenigde Staten, werd Donald Trump rondgevlogen in het regeringsvliegtuig Air Force One. Maar hij was als miljardair en zakenman daarvoor ook al aan een enorme privé-jet gewend. Hij kocht in 2011 voor 100 miljoen dollar een Boeing 757 die hij omdoopte tot ‘Trump Force One’.

Net als tijdens de verkiezingscampagne van 2016 zal het toestel Trump naar verwachting opnieuw van de ene naar de andere verkiezingsbijeenkomst brengen, nu hij heeft aangekondigd opnieuw een gooi te doen naar het Witte Huis.
