I guess when you're Trump, it really doesn't matter if you're adding gold plated weight to the airplane. I realize he doesn't give a shit about the fuel economy, but I would think the range would be affected, which might limit his business trips. So... 80k of fuel for 10 hours, figure his pilots wants to land with no less than 10k (and that's probably way too low)... 7k an hour average with only 2 engines? Am I doing my math wrong to think she's a pig?

CF6 burns ~5k an hour whether you have three like the KC-10, two like the A300/310/330 or B767, or four like the B747. The RB211 engines have similar cruise fuel burn.

The way she pronounced "La Guardia Airport" made me want to stick a hot butter knife in both my ears.

It is properly pronounced "Lagarbage" airport.

I think my 14 year old cousin who has been held back in school three times wrote that article.

Did anyone else catch the price tag she quoted? $100m seems a bit low for a decked out brand new 757, but then again I haven't been plane shopping lately. If asked to guess what that airplane cost as shown I would guess more in the $300m range, but again, my experience is limited.
