    His vacation home, the Mar-a-Lago Club, is in Palm Beach. He goes there almost every weekend.

    I read once that they sometimes use VP-BDJ to shuttle high-rollers to Atlantic City when Donald isn't using it.

    LGA777, what type of maintainence do they do for Trump at Cecil Field?

    Chris102, if you look at the third link in my last post you will see the type of Maintenance performed their. I can only assume most or all of VP-BDJ's checks are performed their.

    Trump's heading back to LGA :D

    Would anyone be able to get a photo of it, to see if there have been any updates?

    Trump just touched down on 22 and I could not get a shot of it but he landed on 22 with no visible mods to the airframe that I could tell. She landed pretty long though.

    Trump recently flew from EINN to BOS, today BOS to EWR.

    Looks like he'll be leaving for Los Angeles soon

    the airplane went past SNN, looks like she spent the 4th in lovely and warm nice, france.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Trump will be leaving PBI for VQQ for his yearly maintainence.

    I wonder how Donald himself will get back to New York? He doesn't seem like a commercial flyer, and from what I hear he's pretty tight with money, so I don't think he would pay for a NetJets or some other charter. :?

    Anyone know how much longer the checks and upgrades will take? It's been 71 days.

    I'll be back in New York later this month, so I'm hoping he'll return soon.

    Isn't it taking longer than usual this year?

    Maybe VPBDJ will return with a new paint job :borat:

    Re: For the Trump 727-100 watchers

    I think maybe VP-BDJ was reregistered.

    The first lines of this news article talk about him landing in Scotland "on his private jet". Notice the date - October 8, 2007. According to FlightAware, VPBDJ has been at VQQ since July.

    TRUMP TO VISIT £1BN GOLF SITE

    12:00 - 08 October 2007

    Tycoon Donald Trump has flown in to inspect the site of his proposed golf resort at Menie Estate.

    A meeting and press conference were planned for today.

    Mr Trump arrived at Aberdeen Airport on his private jet.

    Today he planned to walk the site of the planned £1 billion resort with his architect.

    Menie Estate is on the coast about 13 miles north of Aberdeen.

    The resort would have two 18-hole golf courses, a 450-bedroom hotel, 950 holiday homes, 36 luxury golf villas and 50 private residences.

    One opponent of the development said there were no plans to hijack today's meeting.

    Local resident Mikey Foote, of pressure group Sustainable Aberdeenshire, said: "We don't want people to see us as a rabble."

    It was Mr Trump's first visit to the estate near Balmedie since council planners backed his proposals.

    At Aberdeen Airport yesterday, Mr Trump said: "I'm looking forward to this visit very much.

    "It feels great to be back."

    Mr Trump is expected to go over all aspects of the development during his trip.

    He was accompanied by right-hand man George Sorial, who had warned a public meeting last month that the plans could be ditched if the go-ahead was not given for the 500 homes.

    Mr Trump is also to visit his mother's former home in Lewis.

    It is not known when he plans to see the croft where she grew up in the village of Tong, outside Stornoway.

    EDIT: Here's another article excerpt:

    Trump fired up about Toronto Tower

    Oct 12, 2007 01:41 PM
    Tony Wong
    Staff Reporter
    The Donald flew into Toronto in his private jet today to break ground on the 57-storey Trump International Hotel & Tower.

    He has been flying on N100GV, a Gulfstream V owned by "WELLS FARGO BANK NORTHWEST NA TRUSTEE". (Tracking is blocked on FlightAware)

    VP-BDJ just filed a flight plan VQQ-VQQ, probably a test flight.

    I'd bet he'll have his bird back at LGA within a couple weeks.
