Trump does not have "a plane".
He has a small fleet of jet planes and helicopters.
The most famous one is a Boeing 757 airliner,
which he bought in 2011.
It replaced a B-727, which he had bought from Trump Shuttle. (Trump Shuttle was acquired by US Air).
I have flown (I'm a pilot) around NYC a lot and heard his helicopter flying him around at the same time. I believe the callsign was "Rainbow" (don't remember the number).
I can't find anything via Google that suggests that anything has happened to any of Trump's planes. I think you just made that up.
He put that helicopter up for sale in November (presumably to purchase a better new one).
In recent years Trump has flown a lot on another of his jets, which is a small business jet. It's fancy and is the fastest jet in existence (cruise is 479 kt @ FL 490, 527 @ 350) with 3,242 nm range. It does not haul as many people as his airliner, though. But better for personal trips on the continent.
That's the one (umm, I think that was actually an earlier model Citation X; I think he upgraded since then) that your article is talking about. The article is from 5 years ago. They fucked up and forgot to pay the FAA registration fee, so it sat on the ground (probably for a day) until they paid up. My guess is someone got Fired for that.
Trump's net worth is between $3-$7 Billion.
I don't hate rich people.
I don't really concern myself with Trump, either.
I have a life.
(You ought to get one! They're great!
Life, I mean. Or plane! Both is best!)
