New York Times ^ | APRIL 19, 2016 | By SUSANNE CRAIG

Over the past several months, Donald J. Trump has crisscrossed the country making dozens of campaign stops in places like Sioux City, Iowa, and Jackson, Miss., often in his sleek Cessna jet. There is just one hitch: The plane’s registration is expired.

Records kept with the Federal Aviation Administration show the aircraft’s registration lapsed on Jan. 31. Laura J. Brown, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration, confirmed that the plane’s registration was not in good standing and said the owner had not renewed it.

It used to be 6000 miles. I remember. Ford Motor Company recommended 6000 miles for oil change & lube for their 1964 product line.

The registration on his Boeing 757 is good until 3/31/2018 according to the FAA web site.

I have no idea what Cessna they're talking about.

Exactly! Wrong plane. Only the idiots at the NYT would not be able to tell the difference between two plane so dramatically different in their size and appearance.

All they know is that it's a fully-automatic assault plane.

The real question should be why the FAA should even exist. Yet another corrupt bureaucracy staffed by failures who validate themselves by putting others down.

"Only one of five aircraft had an expired five dollar registration. "

It ain't the cost of the registration, it's the cost of the maintenance to allow it.

I doubt very much that Mr. Trump maintains a 757 and three helicopters, but not his Cessna. He is using the Cessna sounds like a paperwork issue with him or the FAA.

Intel knows that anyone but Trump as president will mean unlimited H1B work visas for Indians to provide all the work that the 12,000 did. They’re getting ready, betting that their “donations” to the right campaigns will inoculate them. I say, don’t bet against Trump.

"Since when is a Cessna jet a regular on the Trump campaign trail. At all the rallies I have seen, he is using a Boeing 757."

Why don't you read the article to find out why he sometimes uses these smaller jets?

"Only one of five aircraft had an expired five dollar registration. It is his 8 seat Cessna."

Then why was he still using this one dozens of times after he was told the registration was going to be outdated?
