For the Trump 727-100 watchers

[PhilDernerJr]

Matt, you gotta scroll up. It was already posted that the aircraft looks the same with the same paint.

anybody see her yet? new paint or a fresh polish? anything changed?

Durka durka alert! Durka durka alert!

[PhilDernerJr]

After all that waiting, VP-BDJ is going right back to PBI in a few hours.

I finally saw her yesterday for the first time in a while. Good to see that "familiar face".

Phil, when Trump sends VP-BDJ down to VQQ for the yearly maintenence, do Captain Donovan and the rest of the crew have to stay with it in Florida until the checks are complete, or do they return home?

Mr. Trump just took the longest roll of the day for any airplane with the mains coming off with 300 useable left.

Since he's down there for several months, I've pretty sure that the crew would be sent home on another airline.

For interest - Trump just left PBI for LGA - FINALLY I get to catch it (pics later). VP-BDJ made the longest take off roll I've ever seen at PBI - for those that know it - main wheels were only off at Signature on a 9L take off - amazing!

Here is one of the quick edits I did from this morning...

[Chris102]

NEW TAIL LOGO!! :borat:

Great shot Mark!

she does that here too, getting airborne at the far 1000 ft marker. it's nice to see, guess they derate those engines significantly...

[PhilDernerJr]

Yeah, new tail logo there. Wow. About time SOMETHING changed. haha

I like the old one more though.

[Chris102]

I like the old one more though.

I do too - I'm not a big fan of the new logo, but it's nice for a change.

I heard today that he's looking for a G-IV to replace the 727 :cry:
I have to get to LGA soon to see VP-BDJ before it's retired :shock:

probably doesnt' want to pay for a D check, but i wish he'd get a BBJ or soemthing like that. G-IV is so common. glad i have shots of BDJ while she's still around.

[Chris102]

He just landed at Trenton. From there's he's headed to PBI.

[Matt Molnar]

A new G-IV is a lot pricier than a D-check, pricier than even a replacement 727...that's the reason he said he got the 72 in the first place. Besides, he wouldn't be able to fit his ginormous TRUMP font on a smaller biz jet. :)
