Seth Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 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 Quote

Mooneymite Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 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. 3 Quote
AndyFromCB Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 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 1 Quote

1964-M20E Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 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. Quote

Yeah, but he only has one B-757 with his name in 8' letters! He needs something to compensate for that shortcoming.... Edited April 20, 2016 by Mooneymite Quote

Mooneymite Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 Someone told me the lineman was signaling how big Trump's ego is. Just a rumor....probably started by a Democrat. Quote
