A helpful reader directed us to a rather interesting listing, Donald Trump's personal jet. Trump's flashy Boeing 727-100 has shown up on the Controller website. Lest you have any doubt that it is his, the plane has the Trump T on the tail and a 30-foot Trump logo on the side done in gold leaf. A plane like this usually has 134 seats but this plane was reconfigured to hold just 24 passengers in the lap of luxury.

The 1968 vintage plane was originally operated by American Airlines according to Aviation.com. It has been refurbished with soft beige leather armchairs around a conference table. A separate dining area has seating for five around a wood table and additional seating on an adjacent upholstered sofa. A master bedroom offers a posh place for mid-flight nap.

The listing with AvPro in Maryland says it has new paint and is current with all avionics. It has logged a total of 41,833 hours with 29,664 total landings. Why is Trump selling? Is a new, even more lavish plane in the works, or is Trump, like the rest of us, feeling the pinch of a struggling economy?

UPDATE: CNN Money has a quote from George Sorial from Trump's organization who says that Trump is upgrading to a larger aircraft.

[Thanks, Jay!]

Flying that old dog around to try to impress is like arriving in a 60's era cadillac. Its a museum piece that should have become coke cans long ago.

Knowing "Ronald the Chump", the plane is probably mortgaged to the hilt and he can't even affort the fuel to fly it.

My comments are about the orthodox christians in Turkey. As this area was the foundation of the Christian religion , it is unfortunate that the government continues to discriminate against Christians. The government closed their training school for orthodox prists over 10 years ago. There this beautiful building sits empty. If Muslims want peace and Turkey wants to be a more complete member of the European Union, they should do more to teach their people tolerance and to set the example by letting these Christians have their school returned to them . If all blogs got on this, hopefully this message would reach Turkey and its leaders. Thanks, Joan
