#1 I'm willing to bet it used to be a $110 million Gulfstream private jet until Trump got on the phone and rattled some cages, like he did when a new Air Force One went online just after he came into office.

#2 Won't be for Ms. Lube Rack. She insists on four engine aircraft.

#6 I knew a corporate pilot who took the G550 class at Gulfstream. He had a classmate who was buying one so he could visit his mom.

#7 Pelousy can ride on the wing where she'd make a great flap.

#9 They should fly government officials on DC-3's. That's plenty of aircraft for what they need. And there's no need for a fancy interior. Web seats and puke buckets will be fine. And they should be crewed by all those nice Saudi air force guys.

#10 When Pelosi was Speaker in 2009-2011, she racked up over a million dollars in Air Force flights per year and $50,000+ in booze and food bills per year on those flights. Her demand was a B-757 like the Vice President's ride and got into a snit if "only" an Air Force G-3 or G-4 were available.
