Donald Trump is officially America's 45th president. He is also the first president for whom the VC-25As that serve as Air Force One will not be his first personal Boeing airliner.
"Trump Force One"— as some have dubbed Trump's personal jet— was one of the most visible symbols of his run for the Oval Office. Trump likes to call it the "T-Bird," according to a Discovery Channel documentary featuring the plane. According to the documentary, the Trump Boeing 757 reportedly cost a whopping $100 million, though that figure seems highly exaggerated when compared with market prices.
The president has owned the Boeing airliner (registration N757AF) since 2011 and has customized the aircraft to his liking. It's unclear what will become of the Trump 757. In all likelihood, the aircraft will be pressed into service for members of the Trump family as well as senior officials at the Trump Organization.

Trump's Boeing 757-2J4ER first flew in May 1991. The new airliner was delivered to Sterling Airlines, a now defunct Danish low-cost carrier. A couple of years later, it found its way into the fleet of Mexico's Taesa, also now a defunct airline.

In 1995, the jet was bought by Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen. For the next 15 years, the Boeing served as a corporate runabout for the billionaire's various interests.
