Donald Trump’s Jet discussed at the Republic Airport Commission meeting
Several neighbors of the airport have complained about Donald Trump’s jet making low passes over their houses.
Quote article: “One of the main points of contention during the night revolved around Donald Trump’s jet, which drew the ire of local residents when it streaked low over the neighborhoods bordering the airport. The noise and low altitude, coupled with the fact that the jet made several passes, contributed to a spike in complaints, the RAC said. The jet had been given clearance by the control tower to fly lower than normal and make the passes in order get shots for Trump’s NBC television show, The Apprentice. While Nocerino and the RAC continuously stated that the responsibility to prosecute falls on the FAA, concerned citizens were not deterred in venting their frustration at the incident several times during the meeting. Both the RAC and representatives of companies operating out of Republic Airport expressed their outrage at the incident and were adamant about not letting something like it happen again.”
