KNOWN for his massive wealth, former President Donald Trump also boasts a multimillion-dollar fleet of private aircraft.
Trump's best-known possession is the Boeing 757 private jet which was a mainstay of his successful 2016 presidential campaign - and continues to follow him in his current bid for the White House.

The price tag for the 33-year-old aircraft also includes several refurbishments Trump, 77, has done - including a year of maintenance and paint job ahead of his 2024 reelection campaign.
The jet houses several luxuries including an en suite bedroom, living areas, gold-plated seatbelts, and the Trump family crest.
Donald Trump's NYE party - missing kids, worrying words and famous guestsDuring his presidency, Trump used the government's presidential fleet, but after losing his reelection to Joe Biden, he quickly went back to his trusted 757.
The billionaire's 757 has flown 133 flight hours since January 1, according to the tracking website JetSpy.
That accounts for about 72 flights so far this year.
In 2023, the aircraft flew 270 total flight hours across 132 flights, with most of the trips between Palm Beach, Florida, and New York City-area airports, according to JetSpy.
The aircraft does come at a hefty price - costing $2.6 million in fuel and emitting roughly 4,100 in CO2 from 2023 to 2024, per JetSpy.
CESSNA SOLD
Trump has been an aircraft aficionado for several decades, but his stunning collection has diminished over the years - including with the recent sale of his 1997 Cessna jet.
Public filings obtained by The Daily Beast revealed the jet, worth about $10 million, changed registration in mid-May as Trump's hush-money trial continued in New York.
Previously held by the Trump Organization's DT Air Corp, the registration now belongs to MM Fleet Holdings LLC, a Texas-based entity.
That company is tied to Mehrdad Moayedi, well-known in the construction and development industry for running Centurion American Custom Homes.
But Moayedi is also a massive Trump supporter, having donated $245,000 to various groups in 2019 and 2020 supporting the former president's reelection campaign, according to federal campaign finance data.

The Trump Aviation website said the Cessna is a "very special feature" within the fleet.
“This high speed jet is often referred to as a ‘rocket in the sky,’ flying at speeds up to Mach .92 and altitudes as high as 51,000 feet," the site continued.
"It is one of the fastest in the world and allows for entry into smaller airports."
In addition, the nine-passenger Cessna has “top of the line interiors” and, like the 757, the Trump crest.

Other aircraft in Trump's collection included multiple Sikorsky helicopters and a Boeing 727 tri-engine airliner.
Acquired in 1997, the 727 cost the former president about $8 million and was used as his personal plane for many years.
Many refer to this jet as the original Trump Force One.
That aircraft was sold in May 2011, according to Business Jet Traveler.
Trump has been very vocal about his fleet of jets and helicopters.
"Branding is a very effective business tool. That's No. 1," he told Business Jet Traveler in 2011 regarding his aircraft.
"I also enjoy the spotlight."
