Love it and him, what I want to know is why Rolls Royce engines?
General Electric or Pratt & Whitney are American made.
GE & P&W probably didn’t have an engine that met all the engineering requirements for certification when the thing was designed. Or if they did, Rolls underbid them. Replacing the engines with a model not listed in the aircraft’s Type Certificate Data Sheet is an incredibly expensive and drawn out process.
There was a P&W engine offered for the 757 but the Rolls was quieter which is a factor at some airports especially at night.
The Rolls is a great engine, here’s a blurb from Rolls about the record breaking engine on one of Icelandair’s 757s, I remember that Rolls bought full page ads in all of the trade magazines.
“Icelandair has a special place in the history of Rolls-Royce, setting a number of records for the RB211-535E4 engines it operates. In 2000 Icelandair set a world record for continuous time on wing from entry into service when one engine achieved 40,531 flying hours, covering 18 million miles – the equivalent of 37 return trips to the moon.”
Damn A thing of beauty is a joy forever!!!!
Personally, I think it would have been better if he had replaced “TRUMP” with “FUCK BIDEN” and parked it at every airport that cocksucker flies to for the next two years. Man was treated like crap for four years for no good reason, FJB!
Love it.
He has a GIANT EGO, but he loves this country, and he did his best for it, while fighting the worst possible in D.C.
Don’t know about you, but I was certainly doing better with him at the helm…
Subtle and understated – I’d expect no less!
The only thing that’s missing is MAGA.
If it had a couple of Hellfire racks, it would be complete.
It would make heads explode if he registered his tail number as N2424
He sure exposed a lot of evil and I am thankful for that. Just waiting for it to be dispensed with.
Hell, yes. Bring Trump back.
Didn’t strip it.
Wonder how much that overcoat of paint adds to the weight.
“According to Boeing, a paint job weighs 555 lbs on a 747 (and that’s after it dries).”
