Donald Trump’s personal Boeing airliner, dubbed “Trump Force One” by some, will be one of the most visible symbols of his run for the Presidential chair as he’ll be jetting across America during his campaign. Trump’s
Boeing 757 cost $100 million and is fully customized to his liking.

Let’s take a look at it.
Although “The Donald” may be the jet’s current owner, he wasn’t its first.
Trump’s Boeing 757-2J4ER first flew in May 1991. The new airliner was delivered to Sterling Airlines, a now defunct Danish low-cost carrier. A couple of years later, it found its way into the fleet of Mexico’s TAESA, also a now defunct airline.
In 1995, the jet was bought by Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen. For the next 15 years, the Boeing served as a corporate runabout for the billionaire’s various interests.
In 2011, Trump took delivery of the then 20-year-old jet and added his personal touches — at great expense.

The current 757 took the place of Trump’s former plane, a Boeing 727 built in 1969.
The Boeing 757 is powered by a pair of Rolls-Royce RB211 turbofan engines.
The Rolls-Royce engines are a feature Trump was very keen to have on his plane.
Although it’s not the most fuel-efficient engine in the world, it is incredibly powerful. In fact, it’s earned the 757 a reputation among pilots for being a bit of a hot rod.
Up front, the Boeing is outfitted with a modern “glass cockpit.”
In airline operations, the Boeing 757-200 can carry as many as 239 passengers, but Trump’s plane is configured for only 43.
It has all of the features you’d expect Donald Trump to enjoy, such as …
… a silk-lined master bedroom equipped with …
… a big-screen entertainment system …
… a master bath with 24-karat-gold fixtures and …
… a shower! In total, the plane is equipped with two bedrooms.
In fact, virtually every fixture in the plane is 24-karat-gold plated — even the seat belts!
The plane’s head rests and pillows are embroidered with the Trump family crest.
Trump’s guests also travel in style.
There’s a dining room.
The seats have personal entertainment systems and convert into beds.
There’s also a private guest room …
… with another entertainment system.
But if you want to watch something communally, then there’s the main lounge, with its 57-inch screen TV and access to 1,000 movies.
Everything is controlled by touch screen — even access to “The Donald’s” DVR.
If you get hungry, there’s also a galley.
Although Trump’s 25-year-old Boeing is no spring chicken, it’s nonetheless a very impressive private jet.
