Trump's Citation X not registered

[Seth]

Trump's staff forgot to pay the $5 to re-register his Citation X

From AVWEB:

A 1997 Citation X owned by Donald Trump has been flying with an expired FAA registration since Jan. 31, according to a story in today's New York Times. Flying with a lapsed registration — which costs $5 for three years — could be a problem in the case of an accident, and also can subject the owner or operator to FAA fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment up to three years. If the jet is grounded, however, to sort out the paperwork issue, Trump has backup — three Sikorsky helicopters and a Boeing 757. Read More

I'm no trump fan but I don't think this would be newsworthy if it were one of us... and of course we know that Oklahoma City never makes a mistake...

[Steve Dietrich]

Most people would assume ( incorrectly) that a failure to register indicates some taxes were not paid....

How can he possibly be president now that that's out?

Well - it is a $5 tax, isn't it?

[Mooneymite]

Oh, it's okay.  The $5 is a FEE!

If it were truly a tax, we might be able to deduct it somewhere on our 1040.

I think it should be immediately impounded and sold to Bernie's campaign for one dollar to be used as the future, more eco friendly Air Force Two

Who needs a Citation when you can have Hair Force One!

i heard about this earlier but was told it was maintenance not registration.  Either way he pays people to take care of these things.

 

I'm sure that person will be in the $#!^ house for a while.

I think that's excessive.  No one needs more than two Sikorsky helicopters.

Yeah, but he only has one B-757 with his name in 8' letters!  He needs something to compensate for that shortcoming....

Maybe it is to compensate for that minuscule lettering down by the empennage.  Must have forgotten where his n-number was.

Someone told me the lineman was signaling how big Trump's ego is.

Just a rumor....probably started by a Democrat.

The fee may be only $5.00, but the administrative cost to collect it would be hundreds of times greater.
