Trump Force One Vs. Air Force One

Describing Donald Trump's personal 757-200 jet as "impressive" would certainly be an understatement. The luxurious jet (dubbed Trump Force One) is fitted out with gold-plated seatbelt buckles and a 52-inch flatscreen TV, among many other features. Trump bought the aircraft in from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen and it is estimated to have cost $100 million. How does it compare to the VC-25A, the aircraft used by the U.S. president?

Operating under the Air Force One callsign when the president is onboard, the VC-25A is larger, seating 70 passengers compared to Trump Force One's 43. It also has a longer range and a whole host of equipment to keep the president and his or her entourage safe at all times. If Trump does end up travelling regularly on Air Force One, he probably won't mind exchanging his gold seatbelt buckle for the presidential suite on one of the world's most sophisticated airliners. This infographic was recently featured on Forbes.
