Remember Trump didn't lease the plane to use for his campaign, it's his ego wagon. Clinton probably selected a plane adequate to carry the press corps without being larger than necessary.

It looks like Good vs. Evil...

Also, how telling that her plane doesn't have her name emblazoned in huge letters on the side like his....

I saw his plane up close yesterday. It needs a paint job.

BTW, its a 1992 757, not exactly cutting edge.

He bought it from Paul Allen I think...

IIRC he paid $20 million for the airframe and engines, then spent another $80 million turning it into a flying version of Otter's room from Animal House.
