Re: For the Trump 727-100 watchers
Trump will be leaving PBI for VQQ for his yearly maintainence.

I wonder how Donald himself will get back to New York? He doesn't seem like a commercial flyer, and from what I hear he's pretty tight with money, so I don't think he would pay for a NetJets or some other charter. :?
Re: For the Trump 727-100 watchers
Anyone know how much longer the checks and upgrades will take? It's been 71 days.

Re: For the Trump 727-100 watchers
Was hoping he'd be back in town for Kids Day. Oh well. :(
Re: For the Trump 727-100 watchers
I'll be back in New York later this month, so I'm hoping he'll return soon.
Isn't it taking longer than usual this year?
Maybe VPBDJ will return with a new paint job :borat:
Re: For the Trump 727-100 watchers
I think maybe VP-BDJ was reregistered.
The first lines of this news article talk about him landing in Scotland "on his private jet". Notice the date - October 8, 2007. According to FlightAware, VPBDJ has been at VQQ since July.

TRUMP TO VISIT £1BN GOLF SITE
12:00 - 08 October 2007
Tycoon Donald Trump has flown in to inspect the site of his proposed golf resort at Menie Estate.
A meeting and press conference were planned for today.
Mr Trump arrived at Aberdeen Airport on his private jet.
Today he planned to walk the site of the planned £1 billion resort with his architect.
Menie Estate is on the coast about 13 miles north of Aberdeen.
The resort would have two 18-hole golf courses, a 450-bedroom hotel, 950 holiday homes, 36 luxury golf villas and 50 private residences.
One opponent of the development said there were no plans to hijack today's meeting.
Local resident Mikey Foote, of pressure group Sustainable Aberdeenshire, said: "We don't want people to see us as a rabble."
It was Mr Trump's first visit to the estate near Balmedie since council planners backed his proposals.
At Aberdeen Airport yesterday, Mr Trump said: "I'm looking forward to this visit very much.
"It feels great to be back."
Mr Trump is expected to go over all aspects of the development during his trip.
He was accompanied by right-hand man George Sorial, who had warned a public meeting last month that the plans could be ditched if the go-ahead was not given for the 500 homes.
Mr Trump is also to visit his mother's former home in Lewis.
It is not known when he plans to see the croft where she grew up in the village of Tong, outside Stornoway.

Re: For the Trump 727-100 watchers
VP-BDJ just filed a flight plan VQQ-VQQ, probably a test flight.
I'd bet he'll have his bird back at LGA within a couple weeks.
