Enviado
 
WEST PALM BEACH — The FAA is investigating an incident in which former President Donald Trump's private plane clipped another jet after landing at Palm Beach International Airport early Sunday, May 12. The Boeing 757 landed safely at the airport at about 1:20 a.m. While taxiing, its winglet made contact "with a parked and unoccupied corporate jet," the statement from the Federal Aviation Administration said (www.msn.com) Más...

The word is "hear". Work on your language skills if you have anything to say. Oh wait, the fact that you're nearly illiterate means you have nothing to say.

You are absolutely right about safety being of utmost concern, but, even when with experienced crew, perfection is the ever elusive goal. As a result, we are lucky that minor incidents like this are much more common than catastrophic events. Don't be so hard on yourself, Fred. It was very SNL inspired and I could almost hear DT's voice as i read it.

Because the overpowered 757-200w has those gigantic Rolls Royce RB-211-535s under its wing, people forget how high off the ground the fuselage and the flight deck really is. Also, that plane has a 135' wing span(!) It's all to easy to have 'sharp elbows' on a crowded tarmac. I feel sorry for their boss's lawyers and pilots. It ain't easy flying the 'the demanding Don.'

I really hate to see this... It is a nice looking plane... Looks like it hit a CRJ200. This was at a Non-Controlled Field. I was looking for more detailed images, but I do not see any at this time. I am sure they will show up soon!

This is an old photo but it was taken at PBI from Perimeter Rd. across the Atlantic Aviation ramp towards the northwest. You can clearly see the Gulfstream hangar in the left background and the NetJets hangar in the right background. The XO Jet CRJ parks there every night after doing a turn to NY, but there's no info stating that it was the damaged aircraft.

ClickBAIT (I'm sure you just have other "bate" words on the brain as you surf the interwebs) would imply that the event didn't happen. It pretty clearly did occur. Stomping your feet and screaming that life isn't fair isn't going to change reality.

Absolutely! I wasn't going to respond until I read the picture caption which had NOTHING to do with the alleged purpose of this story. If you notice, they REMOVED my response and the original story about Memorial Day air traffic. My comments were Memorial Day is NOT a fun and vacation day. Its a very somber day to remember those who died for this country or perhaps, the country we once had! (Watch them remove this one as well.)

It's called a file photo. Only a fool would believe it was of the incident. Fock Snooze and NewsMin use file photos and video all the time. Typical MAGAt media. It's so funny how people like you get your knickers in a twist so easily. You can dish it out, but you sure as hell can't take it. Just like your Orange Jesus.
And the word is "clickbait". Stop thinking about onanism so much. Your Freud is slipping.

WTF are you smoking? Comparing a clipped winglet to allowing 16,000,000 illegal aliens to walk into this country? Or trading a hashish smoking trans basketball player for the biggest arms dealer in the World, beside the USA of course, or a man literally to dense to impeach, yet still has nuclear codes?

It'll likely be traced backed to ATC allowing movement when the taxiway wasn't completely clear. And it doesn't matter if the plane was idle and unoccupied... it may have been parked in the wrong location! We'll see.
