new york (cnn) donald trump is known for his larger - than - life personality, a trait visible from his fleet of aircraft: a large commercial sized plane, a corporate jet and two helicopters .
the largest is a boeing 757 - 200 and emblazoned with
trump
in golden letters and a huge red
t
on the four story tall tail .
in a commercial configuration it could carry as many as 228 passengers if it were filled with economy seats, but there' s nothing
economy
about this plane .
trump' s 757 is designed to carry 43 passengers secured with 24 caret gold plated seat belts, according to a video tour of the aircraft his company posted in 2011. it features a dining room, big screen tvs, a master and a guest bedroom and even a shower .
everything that they did on it is very very spectacular .
john dunkin, trump' s pilot told the smithsonian channel' s mighty planes .
it' s very fast airplane for a large airplane. it' s extremely comfortable. it takes turbulence very well. it' s kind of like the ferrari in the airline category airplane .
757s have a top speed of 609 miles an hour can fly up to 4, 400 miles without stopping, according to boeing. it is nearly 125 feet wide and more than 155 feet long and weighs in at 255, 000 pounds .
trump' s plane was built in 1991 and one of his companies took ownership in 2010, according to faa records .
the 757 replaced trump' s older and more costly to fly 727 built in 1968 and originally flown by american airlines .

trump also owns two sikorsky s - 76b helicopters built in 1989 and 1992 .
four aircraft is actually a major downsize for trump who once owned an airline with a fleet of 17 planes .
the billionaire bought eastern airline' s shuttle service for $ 380 million dollars in 1989 and offered frequent flights between cities in the northeast, but soon faced financial difficulty .
in 1992 trump' s airline defaulted and was taken over by the banks which sold it to us air .

hillary clinton' s plane: 5 things to know hillary clinton is flying all over in her new campaign plane, a boeing 737 leased from a florida company. a look at the plane. check out this story on urltoken urltoken
hillary clinton' s new campaign plane takes off at westchester county airport, sept. 5, 2016. in harrison. (video by ricky flores / the journal news )
while standing in front of the white and light blue boeing 737 emblazoned with her campaign slogan
stronger together
on the side, clinton said her republican opponent donald trump is unfit to be president .
after the press conference, clinton — who has been shy about taking questions from the press during her campaign — traveled to north carolina and then flew to kansas city to speak to the national baptist convention before returning to westchester late that evening .
according to urltoken, a website that tracks airlines and their fleets, clinton' s plane first flew in january 2002 for air berlin .
starting in 2012, the plane was owned by russian airline orenair, urltoken said. by 2015, it had ended up in the hands of aersale, a florida company
specializing in the sale and lease of mid - life commercial aircraft ,
which leased it to corendon dutch airlines .
according to boeing, a new 737 - 800 series costs $ 96 million. clinton' s plane is a boeing 737 - 86j, according to the federal aviation administration registry. clinton' s campaign has raised $ 435 million, both through her campaign committee and outside groups, according to urltoken, but for context, clinton has only spent $ 74 million in media buys and $ 46. 6 million in salaries .
spending on travel was not broken out as its own category, and aersale was not listed as a top vendor .
besides to charlotte and kansas city? clinton used the plane to fly to cleveland and illinois for labor day events .
the press office for westchester county executive rob astorino, a republican, forwarded questions to the westchester county police, whose spokesman, kieran o' leary, who in turn deferred to the secret service .
officials at the airport said that since clinton leaves from a private terminal, her presence at the airport has created no delays for the average traveler - even when she paused to hold a press conference on the tarmac .

hillary clinton unveiled her campaign jet last week, a boeing 737 with the slogan “stronger together” emblazoned on the side .
shortly after showing off its new wings, the clinton campaign took off and headed to ohio for a rally. after touching down in cleveland, an odd sight appeared just across the tarmac. it was donald trump’s plane. the boeing 757 with “trump” on its side, a dark blue and white paint job with red trim .
with the planes facing off in real life, we thought we’d compare the jets to see which one is better .
clinton rocks a 14 - year - old boeing 737 - 800. the 737 is the best selling jet commercial airliner and has been made since 1967. it’s known for being a reliable and efficient vehicle, and boeing has delivered more than 9, 000 .
the last candidate to use a 737 was john mccain in 2008, when he flew around in a 737 - 400 dubbed the “straight talk express. ”
donald trump uses his personal plane as his campaign jet, which he bought in 2011. the boeing 757 - 200 was built in 1991 and purchased from original owner paul allen, famous billionaire, microsoft co - founder and seattle seahawks and portland trailblazers owner. before allen owned the plane, it was operated by sterling airlines of denmark and then mexico’s taesa, both of which are now defunct .
the 757 is boeing’s largest single - aisle passenger aircraft and was produced from 1981 to 2004. the 757 is outfitted with two rolls royce engines and can travel 4, 100 nautical miles on a full tank. when not cruising the campaign trail, trump’s jet sits at its home airport, laguardia (lga) in new york city — there’s a very good chance you’ve spotted it there .
clinton’s 737 seats 96 and is divided into four sections: one for clinton and top aides, one for campaign staffers, one for her secret service detail and one for reporters .
the interior is nothing fancy, with a standard 3 - 3 configuration for staffers and press .
trump’s plane, although larger in size, only seats 43 due to the fact that it’s outfitted like a luxury aircraft. most seats are in the style of domestic first class, with the trump crest stitched into some of the headrests .

trump force one, as many have dubbed it, even sports couches, a bedroom and a lounge .
trump’s 757 is decked out. its gold - platted faucets and seat belts complement the onboard shower .
secretary of state clinton’s 737 may not have a place to clean up, but it does have wi - fi .

we don’t pick sides here at the points guy, and all americans know what the most desired plane really is: air force one .
