Anyone wanna buy a helicopter?





NEWS DONALD TRUMP HELICOPTER
Donald Trump's personal helicopter and mainstay throughout his career has hit the market for a price tag of more than $1 million.


The soon-to-be ousted president has never been shy about his love of private jets and helicopters, owning three choppers and several other private aircrafts.

And now bidders could get their hands on the Sikorsky S-76B; Trump's personal helicopter which was used extensively during his 2016 election campaign.

He has three S-76 helis. The one in the picture is used when he goes to Scotland. He has two in the US. One is white, the other black. The black one is for sale.

Or run an ad on Craigslist?

Looks to me like he's desperate for money.

The G in the start of the tail number means it's registered in Great Britain.

Just like to be accurate.
