Donald Trump's prized Boeing 757 private jet is a common backdrop at campaign rallies.
The aircraft is just one in a collection of personal planes Trump has owned since the 1980s.

Billionaire business tycoon and ex-US president Donald Trump has a history of flaunting his wealth.

Among his most famous displays is the Boeing 757 private jet that became a centerpiece of his 2016 presidential rallies and has followed him on the campaign trail for his 2024 nomination.

Dubbed "Trump Force One," the aircraft cost him a reported $100 million in 2011 and is outfitted with luxuries like an ensuite bedroom, several living areas, and the Trump family crest.

Trump's collection of private aircraft dates back decades, though it has shrunk over the years.

The billionaire has also owned Sikorsky S-76B helicopters, a nine-seater Cessna Citation X, and a Boeing 727 tri-engine airliner — the latter considered the original Trump Force One.

Trump brought the aircraft out of storage in 2021 and has since been seen flying between his various homes and court appearances.

The 757 is the second rendition of the ex-president's line of 'Trump Force One' planes. The first was an $8 million Boeing 727 tri-jet.

The three-engine 727 aircraft is about half the size of the 757 and was reportedly still worth up to $8 million when sold, per the Times.

Before the 727 was his personal plane, it was part of the 'Trump Shuttle' fleet — a now-defunct US carrier that the ex-president owned until 1992.

Aside from his Boeing airliners, Trump has also galavanted around the world in a smaller Cessna Citation X business jet.

The speedy 1997 Cessna Citation X, registered N725DT, was regularly seen along Trump's campaign trail.

The "rocket in the sky" had space for up to nine people in the usual luxe interior.

The Cessna shuttled Trump to rallies in 2016, though at one point it was flying illegally.

However, Trump has recently sold the 27-year-old Cessna. FAA records show the jet was de-registered on May 13.

Beyond jet aircraft, Trump's fleet has sported one Airbus and three Sikorsky S-76 helicopters.

Since leaving office, Trump has put up two helicopters for sale, registrations N76TE and N76DT.

The details of the sales are unknown, but The Independent reported that pre-owned S-76Bs typically sell for around $ 1 million.

Despite selling off some of his aircraft, Trump has still held onto two — and he's hoping to keep them amid his ongoing legal battles.
