Donald Trump's Plane Removed From Online Flight Tracker

Donald Trump and his Boeing 757.

Real-time web tracking of Donald Trump's 757 aircraft has ended, possibly as a security precaution.

Alone among the presumptive 2016 Presidential candidates, Donald Trump owns his own aircraft — a Boeing 757-200, with Rolls-Royce turbofan engines, tail number N757FA.

Thanks to the marvels of the Web, it was possible to track the plane's flights in real time by entering the tail number into FlightAware, a free flight-tracking service. That is, until Wednesday, when the notice "this aircraft not available for public tracking per request from owner/operator" appeared on the website.

  1. Unfortunately, I can also see this as a means of eliminating him. He is a threat to having the Democrats maintain power a poll just came out showing he could actually defeat Hillary.

    If it happens, as yourself, "who benefits?"

  2. Too much tracking going on as it is. This fox is confounding the stupid hounds.

  3. Flight Tracker is a service that is subscribed to by the aircraft owner for their use and benefit. It's not unusual for owners to turn it on and off. I know of one case where a major college was secretly recruiting a high level coach. A student was watching flight tracker for movement of the private jet of a major contributor and speculated on the supposedly "secrete negotiations". It ended up blowing the deal up and costing an opportunity for the school and the coach. Flight Tracker on that plane was immediately turned off. CH
