Cityfile reports that you now have the opportunity to sit your ass in the Don’s cockpit. Trump put his Boeing 727 up for sale yesterday. No word on the asking price but it’ll probably cost you considering that you’re getting three bathrooms with “gold plated sinks,” “abundant storage for fine china and crystal” and a “circular shower.” Make him an offer.

if the HGSCSEMF don't fit, you must acquit.

i hear it come with Atari 2600 and a signed copy of The Art of The Deal.
I cant think of which is more out dated the plane, the game, or the book or him.

@5, and a pair of MC Hammer pants to sweeten the deal.

You don't want to fly commercial. How about a sale-leaseback?

Doesn't matter how well appointed that shit is. It'll break up in the air just like any other aging plane.

@9 - sorry, he's a tribesman (non-practicing, self-hating division). We laugh about him all the time at the Councils of the Elders of Zion meetings over a nice glass of fresh Christian baby blood.

I bet there are some newer money authors this plane might appeal to.... just photoshop a plate of some sopressat on the table and I think we got a buyer.
Posted by Anal_yst , Nov 10, 2009 4:23PM
knowing Donald, he's probably asking new(ish) G550 money for this thing.
Posted by Anal_yst , Nov 10, 2009 4:25PM
hmm, this or a new(ish) G550...
Posted by guest , Nov 10, 2009 4:41PM
@Anal_yst: he can't ask G550 money for it. Too old, too expensive. Brokers are saying this will go for ~$8.9 million. A new G550 runs $38 million without upgraded avionics and amentites. So, prices aren't even close. Trump's old (1968) plane was operated formerly by AA and has seen a shit ton of airtime and landings, both a considerable stress on the plane.
All in, a G550 costs ~$10,000 per air hour to keep on the books and Trump's hunk of metal would easily exceed that, more than making up for the reduced asking price. It has a severely limited life too compared to any new G550, not to mention Gulfstream's trade up program.
FYI, Trump's broker said he's upgrading to a bigger plane. I'm wondering exactly what "bigger" means. Maybe Price Alwaleed is selling his 747?

If it comes with Liz Claman on the television set, here's my check.

@25
The apparently too-subtle joke was that this plane is worth fractions of a G550 but that little fact won't do a thing to stop The Donald from trying to convince some moron its just as good, if not better.
Btw doesn't Alwaleed have an A380 on the way?

News is out that you can also buy some of BM's accoutrements, like his customized Mets jacket.
It would be fitting for the purchaser to wear some of BM's old clothing while wizzing around in the Donald's airplane.

The picture. The one up near the cockpit.
Hard to make it out. Wedding photo? Marla, Ivana, or the newer one?
Why is it that The Donald has such a high-pitched voice, and uses the word "amazing" in every other sentence when he talks about his failing casinos?
Why is it, that BEFORE this recession, that only The Donald could run a casino into bankruptcy?

Should I spend my bonus this year on his plane or a sweet 9th floor condo in Chicago? They are offering to upgrade my trim package so not sure what to do.

You will have 5 hours to submit a marketing plan to sell my fabulously appointed classy 727. Your plans will be evaluated by my good friend Lenny one of baseball's greats. The top team will be allowed to auction off the plane on my good friend Meg's computer site. My good friend Kenneth Fienberg will evaluate the bids and proceeds if approved will go to my favorite NYC charity (where I live 182 days an 11 hours per year).
