Boeing 757-200 (N757AF)
The old saying is, "Third time lucky," but in this case, for me, it was, "Fifth time lucky." In every one of Donald Trump's previous four visits to northern Nevada, I was not able to get a click of his "Trump" B757 in the air, but yesterday, as he made his final pre-Election Day campaign visit here, I got the shot I've been trying for.
N757AF is captured here just 24 hours ago in a gorgeous late afternoon sky as it completes its s/final approach to RTIA's runway 16L after a long flight from Wilmington, N. Carolina.

It was a very loooong day of campaigning for Mr. Trump yesterday. He began the day in Tampa with an appearance. His next stop was in Wilmington for a rally at the airport. Then, the long distance flight that brought him here where, as seen above, he arrived for a 5 PM campaign rally, and then he departed to Denver for a 9 PM appearance.
The timing of his arrival here was perfect. For his first visit (many weeks ago), he arrived in the early AM hours. I did get clicks, but they were all of the aircraft parked on the ramp. He did not use this a/c for his second visit; instead, he flew up from Las Vegas on the private jet of a friend. Again, I got photos of him landing; however, it wasn't in this jet. The weather was overcast for his third visit to this area (South Lake Tahoe), and I was out of the area on an aviation-photo trip when he came here for the fourth time. Yesterday, it all came together perfectly, and we were able to get snaps of this fabulous aircraft in front of a beautiful blue sky.

All 5*'s Gary- great shot!
Hey, Dave, Howdy, and TY for the compli. I'll be emailing a different shot of this one from the series I clicked to all the guys so keep a watchful eye on your email. It was well worth the repeated 80-mile round trips from my house to the airport to finally catch it.
Gary... thanks for the e-mail and thanks for sharing this superb "5" star photo with us! (And I certainly enjoyed your "back story" on this photo too!)
Excellent shot Gary
Gary I know he has a citation X as well N725DT
Beautiful shot Gary.
Great shot Gary! 5 *'s!
Good shot, however, I wonder if anyone got a good shot of "TRUMP (ONE) leaving Laguardia this am for Washington DC. The water cannon salute sent chills up my leg like Obama did to a certain CNN reporter!
beautiful photo , Gary

Great Shot, high 5.
A+ Boss!
