TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Former President Donald Trump’s Boeing 757 clipped a parked private jet at a Florida airport over the weekend, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The FAA said the incident happened Sunday at the West Palm Beach International Airport.
A notice from the agency reads: “AIRCRAFT TAXIING AND WINGLET STRUCK THE REAR ELEVATOR OF A PARKED VISTAJET.”
The notice lists the plane’s registration number as N757AF. FAA registration records show the plane is registered to DJT Operations I LLC. The registration number is also clearly visible on the side of Trump’s plane.
“A privately owned Boeing 757 landed safely at West Palm Beach International Airport around 1:20 a.m. local time on Sunday, May 12,” an FAA spokesperson told Nexstar’s WFLA in a statement. “While taxiing, its winglet contacted a parked and unoccupied corporate jet. The incident occurred in an area of the airport where the FAA does not direct aircraft.”
