CNN initially reported that the plane, which seats 43 and is outfitted with 24-karat gold accessories, has a broken engine which could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to fix.

Insider has photos of the plane, stationed in a far eastern corner of Stewart International Airport, next to a FedEx depot.

It is the only plane visibly stored in a section of the airfield where there were also no incoming or outbound flights.

The first visible element of Trump's stationed plane is the blocky, emblazoned 'T,' on the plane's vertical stabilizer.

There are a few collapsible staircases near the plane, and it's unclear if they are for repair or passenger-loading purposes.

Trump's plane has not been used since President Joe Biden's inauguration, CNN reported.

The Boeing 757 uses pricey Rolls Royce RB211 Turbofan engines. One of them on Trump's plane is reportedly broken and has been removed, with the exterior wrapped in white, according to CNN.

CNN reported that the plane's left engine may have to be removed.

The plane used to belong to Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, and Trump purchased it in 2011.

The former President decked the plane out with all sorts of expensive touches, like a 24-karat gold sink and gold-plated seat belt buckles. The plane also has a shower and TV screens galore.

The plane got that nickname during Trump's run for president in the 2016 election. During the campaign, he was regularly photographed eating fast food like McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken on board.
