You can now buy President Donald Trump's personal helicopter.
Trump's iconic red, white, and black helicopter is almost as famous as the president himself. It could be found as a frequent guest on his hit television show and then on the campaign trail leading up to the 2016 presidential election. And in August, it appeared on the for-sale market by the Trump Organization after flying Trump and his family for 10 years, Time reported.
Canada's Aero Asset and California's Jet Edge Partners are leading the sale, with the latter's website showing that a deal for the aircraft is pending. If a sale goes through before Trump leaves office on January 20, 2021, at noon, the soon-to-be-former president will be left grounded. Well, at least when it comes to rotorcraft.
Registered with DJT Aerospace, a Dover, Delaware-based company, the helicopter is just one of many aircraft in the Trump fleet alongside Boeing 757 and Cessna Citation X private jets, as well a UK-based helicopter fleet. The unmistakable aircraft is registered as N76DT - the last two letters being a nod to its owner's initials - and had "TRUMP" emblazoned on the rear fuselage, though promotional material shows the lettering removed.
The Sikorsky S-76 is the epitome of a VIP helicopter preferred by charter operators and celebrities alike. Besides Trump, the S-76 can be found in the fleet of Queen Elizabeth II of England and was the helicopter of choice for the late Kobe Bryant, as Business Insider's David Slotnick detailed in January.
