Trump's plane almost crashed

[Antiwar]

Four engines? I know he has a 757, but that has been needing a D check and a new engine for a long time.

Maybe now it'll be getting a new engine, if D check clears.

 

[Antiwar]

I guess Russia will be postponed.

 

[Deuce]

Four engines? I know he has a 757, but that has been needing a D check and a new engine for a long time. Nearly all private business jets are 2 or 3 engines. Hell, there are few 4 engine airliners left, just the 747 and A340, but they are on the way out. The article needs more data.

Looks like an error/stealth correction. The preview says one of four engines but if you click the link the corresponding sentence only says "one of the engines."

It almost certainly was a two-engine jet. Unless it's a Falcon?

Edit: Another poster says it was a three-engine Falcon.

He can't afford it...

Boeing and Airbus make business jet versions of the 737 and the 319 respectively.

I think the article is wrong, the press always screws up aviation articles.

No. I was responding to the comment that the only flying 4 engine commercial planes are the 747 and A340.
It's a given Trump could not afford an A 380. Nor could there be any reason he would need or want one. In fact what he currently flys is ridiculously larger than any plausibly necessary means, other than stroking his equally over sized ego.

 

[Mr Person]

He scowled so hard the engine failed.

A wise man provokes not a Big Mac in his wrath.

 

[MaryP]

So why isn't he flying his big ole showboat that he said was nicer than Air Force One? I heard it was going to cost a million to get back into shape after he left office, but surely he's gotten enough 'contributions' by now to fix it?

Is this the plane that has a gold plated toilet? Fascinates me how people who don't have nothing can worship a man who shits in a gold plated toilet...

people do not know their aircraft,...

there is an article showing a guy who I'm guessing is trump boarding a Cessna Citation X (w/ two engines),... then a photo of a three engine Dassault Falcon

Sorry, I skipped the 380, I still want to fly on it!

Republicans: Let's see... Biden, Biden - got it.

Who is responsible tor air safety in the US? The FAA. Who is in charge of the FAA? Biden. Biden tried to kill trump! Donate now to save the life of trump!

What a terrible shame that would have been.

Trump plane made emergency landing after weekend speech to GOP donors

The plane was in the air between 20 and 30 minutes before one of the engines failed.

www.politico.com

An engine failure in a multiengine aircraft after takeoff raises the blood pressure but it’s usually not a life and death situation if competently handled.

 

[Gaius46]

Trump is a monster. Not one redeeming quality. Utterly sociopathic with no love for anyone or anything. Narcissistic to a fault. I'll spare you the crocodile tears.

What about the crew?
What about the fact that when a plane falls out of tge sky it has to hit something.

Trump’s hide wasn’t the only one involved.

IIRC it’s been sitting for 4 years. A million to get it airworthy agsin would probably be a bargain.

He should have let the kids use it. Or maybe they didn't want to; it's got to be a gas hog.

After "worship a man who," you could type until your fingers blead without running out of thoughts.

 

[WIGDViking]

I loathe Trump as all good Americans should. But I would never wish for his plane to crash and the resultant loss of innocent life.
That's just not a very humanitarian thing to suggest.

But hanging pence would have been acceptable???

Suggest reading more carefully, the notation under that picture reads: "Trump is pictured leaving Florida last May aboard his private jet, different from the Dassault Falcon 900 that made an emergency landing over the weekend" Your guess on it being Trump and the Cessna Citation X is correct.

 

[The AntiDonald]

Wishing someone to die makes one what exactly?

Looking out for the greater good of others?????

 

[Airyaman]

Dassault Falcon 900 eh?

Dassault Falcon 900 - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

A wide range of private owners, businesses and small airlines operate Falcon 900s.

Libya

• Government owned (tail number 5A-DCN)

Qatar

• Qatar Amiri Flight

Saudi Arabia

• Saudia Private Aviation

Yes it would have been a shame, we don't wish bad things on people.

 

[Shrink726]

And that makes your ridiculous OP acceptable?

Yup.

I refuse to put myself on that level.

Is that to tie Trump to those countries by innuendo? of course it is. But many people use them, for instance Taylor Swift owns a Falcon 900 and Falcon 50 and she also flies both. Is she tied to those countries?

I realize that sounds a little harsh. But the world would be much better off without Trump in it.

If someone has to die in a plane crash, it might as well be him.
