President Trump now has a second aircraft for his presidential campaign. It will be used by his vice presidential running partner for campaign events.
A new VP running mate and an additional Boeing for the Trump campaign
It’s been an unprecedented week for the former president. On Saturday, President Trump survived an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. Then on Monday, felony charges were dismissed in his classified documents case.
Later in the afternoon, the former President unveiled his Vice Presidential running mate, Senator JD Vance, just prior to the start of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Senator Vance currently serves as the junior senator from Ohio.
Now, a images of a second jet to join President Trump’s Boeing 757, sometimes referred to as Trump Force One, have appeared.
The plane has a “Trump/Vance” decal on the side
The Boeing 737 jet was flown to Kansas City International on July 14th . Kansas City is home to a maintenance facility operated by Eastern. Just today, the jet emerged with a temporary livery for the campaign season. The livery features a stylized American flag on the tail with the newly minted Trump/Vance logo on the forward section of the jet.
N917XA is a 2002 Boeing 737-800 originally operated by AirBerlin. The jet was last operated by the now defunct iAero Airways before being purchased by Eastern earlier this year.
First spotted by expert-tracker Jack Sweeney
“The Trump Vance plane looks to be N917XA which is at MCI airport, says Jack Sweeney. Sweeney became famous tracking billionaire Elon Musk’s private jets. Today he unveiled some aircraft sleuthing to identify the location and tail number of the jet. This was solid work because some flight tracker websites showed that the aircraft was still in Miami with a planned flight to Havana, Cuba. Whether that was a technical error or an intentional effort to throw off flight tracker enthusiasts is unknown.
“Clues: rust on the top of outside hangars is the same, as pictured. 917 matches door number. Eastern airlines logo pictured on the lift,” added Sweeney on X, formerly Twitter.
No Details on Configuration for Trump Vance Plane
No details have been released yet about the configuration of the jet. Typically, candidate’s aircraft have a mixed configuration of first class seats up front along with a couch/lounge for meetings. The aft section of the aircraft is configured with coach seats for staffers and media.
