The NYPD used a $3 million counterterrorism plane to shuttle Mayor Bill de Blasio back and forth from his Canada vacation to the Big Apple for an event Thursday, The Post has learned.
Hizzoner, who is in Quebec on a weeklong respite, briefly flew back to the Bronx for a memorial for slain Detective Miosotis Familia.
“NYPD is transporting him in their plane,” de Blasio spokesman Eric Phillips told The Post.
“Their plane” is a Cessna 208 Caravan that cost roughly $3 million and was picked up by the department in 2017, sources said.
The high-tech aircraft is outfitted with special sensors that can detect at a distance radioactive material used to make “dirty bombs.”
Police sources questioned the use of a special plane for mayoral transportation.
“It is very unusual to go on an international flight to go pick up the mayor,” one source said.
“I think it’s excessive, because that wasn’t what that plane was designed to do. It’s designed for counterterrorism measures. To go to Canada to get the mayor? It’s excessive.”

That’s the kind of thing that could put a Republican mayor in a world of hurt.
It’s great to be King!
Shocked here.
NOTHING for THEE

Watch him say it was a Police Funeral so it was up to them to get him to and fro.
Some Animals are more equal than other Animals.
3 mil for a C 208....? really! Jeez you could buy a nice used jet for that much.
Who owns the plane?
Who authorized its use?
Who appropriated the taxpayer funds to transport the Enemy Domestic?
Was it just another private use of "seized" criminal assets?
From one criminal to another?
Inquiring minds...
No.
It's pro-terrorism.
Close enough for New Yawk...
But Pruitt...
NY should have paid DeCommieo $3M to stay in Canada.
Anybody want to start a “GoAwayFundMe” fund to get rid of this red?
Comrades! You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself. Our sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health. Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organization of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for YOUR sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples.
Some are more equal than others.
It’s other people’s money.
Fixed it for you. Warren Wilhelm, DBA DeBlasio, is really german after all.
Funny. I was just reading that book yesterday.
I think they made a big stink about this when Scott Pruitt and Tom Price did something similar ( but not with Counter terrorism planes ).
Where’s the “investigation” here?
Where are the folks screaming at De Blasio when he eats at a diner?
