   The Trump 757 airworthy again

   Trump Force One, Donald Trump's private Boeing 757, is back in service after   
   six years. The plane flew to Palm Beach, Florida, where Trump lives, last week   
   after undergoing a major overhaul in the past year.   
       
   Trump is expected to use his 757 to attend political rallies ahead of the   
   so-called midterm elections in November to support congressional candidates in   
   the pro-Trump camp. He previously used the 757 for his own presidential   
   campaign in 2016.   
       
   After Trump defeated Hillary Clinton and was inaugurated as president, he had   
   to use Air Force One and the Boeing 757 was mothballed. The aircraft was only   
   used a few times by family members shortly after the elections.   
       
   When Trump had to leave the White House in early 2021, his plane first needed   
   major maintenance before it could be put back into service. Why it took so   
   long is unknown. There was speculation in some media that Trump had no money   
   for that, but he denied it.   
       
   For the past year and a half, the ex-president has mainly traveled with his   
   8-person Cessna Citation. But now the 757 is fully refurbished and ready for   
   use again. The color scheme has also been adjusted: the T on the tail has been   
   replaced by a large American flag.   
       
   There is a good chance that Trump will run for president next year in the 2024   
   presidential election, to run again against Joe Biden. But first his goal is   
   to win the majority in the US Congress during the midterms with Republican   
   candidates.
