(JOHN) IT'S GOT TO BE THE NICEST 757 ON THE PLANET

THE PLANE IS VERY MUCH AN EXTENSION OF THE TRUMP BRAND.

(NARRATOR) DONALD TRUMP'S BOEING 757

IS ONE OF THE LARGEST, MOST LUXURIOUS

PRIVATE JETS IN THE WORLD.

SO HOW DO YOU TELL ONE OF AMERICA'S RICHEST MEN

THAT HIS PRIDE AND JOY IS IN PIECES?

AND THAT YOU MAY HAVE LOST ONE OF THE JET'S MOST VITAL PARTS?

DIFFERENT COWLING.

I KNOW MR. TRUMP AND I KNOW THAT HE WILL ONLY

SETTLE FOR HIS OWN COWLING ON THE AIRPLANE

AND I DON'T BLAME HIM.

(NARRATOR) AND TRUMP HAS MADE

A SPECIAL REQUEST THAT WILL FORCE HIS PILOT TO MAKE

A VERY TRICKY MANEUVER.

♪ ♪ ♪

(NARRATOR) PALM BEACH, FLORIDA.

IT'S THE PLACE TO BE FOR AMERICA'S RICH AND FAMOUS.

IT'S ALSO HOME TO ONE OF THE LARGEST AND MOST LUXURIOUS

PRIVATE JETS IN THE WORLD.

THIS BOEING 757 IS A SLEEK, NARROW BODIED,

LONG LEGGED BEAUTY.

AND SHE'S TREATED LIKE THE CELEBRITY WHO OWNS HER.

VISITORS AT THIS PRIVATE AIRFIELD CAN'T RESIST

GAWKING AND TAKING PHOTOS.

BUT THEY MUST KEEP THEIR DISTANCE.

BECAUSE LIKE THE BILLIONAIRE TYCOON WHO BOUGHT HER,

SHE COMMANDS RESPECT.

THIS IS DONALD TRUMP'S PRIVATE JET.

A BOEING 757, THAT'S A GIANT IN ITS CLASS.

AND THIS IS THE MAN WHO

DONALD TRUMP TRUSTS WITH HIS LIFE.

HE'S JOHN DUNKIN AND HE'S BEEN TRUMP'S PERSONAL PILOT

ON AND OFF SINCE 1989.

THE BIGGEST PART OF MY JOB IS TO MAKE SURE THAT

EVERYTHING HAPPENS SEAMLESSLY BEHIND THE SCENES FOR MR. TRUMP.

SO WE MIGHT BE SCRAMBLING,

BUT WHEN MR. TRUMP SHOWS UP HE CAN JUST STEP ONTO

THE AIRPLANE AND HE'S OFF TO HIS DESTINATION.

WE SHOULD BE DEPARTING ON RUNWAY 0-7.

(NARRATOR) LIFE LONG PILOT, JOHN TOOK ON THE ULTIMATE

CHALLENGE WHEN TRUMP ACQUIRED ONE OF THE BEST PRIVATE JETS

MONEY CAN BUY, THE BOEING 757.

EVERYTHING THEY DID ON IT IS VERY, VERY SPECTACULAR.

THEY'VE GOT LARGE HIGH THRUST ROLLS ROYCE ENGINES ON IT,

IT'S GOT A VERY NICE LOOK TO IT.

IT'S EXTREMELY FAST FOR AN AIRLINER,

IT'S A VERY, VERY, FAST AIRPLANE, FOR LARGE AIRPLANES.

IT'S EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE, IT TAKES TURBULENCE VERY, VERY WELL.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE THE FERRARI IN

THE AIRLINE CATEGORY AIRPLANE.

(NARRATOR) BUILT TO HOLD 228 PASSENGERS,

THIS 757 IS 3 TIMES THE SIZE OF THE AVERAGE PRIVATE JET.

47 METERS LONG, WITH A WINGSPAN OF 39 METERS.

THE TAIL STANDS 14 METERS HIGH.

SHE'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST PRIVATELY OWNED

CORPORATE JETS FLYING.

WELL, THE 757 IN MY OPINION IS PROBABLY

ONE OF THE, YOU KNOW, MOST REMARKABLE AIRPLANES

THAT BOEING EVER BUILT.

(NARRATOR) INSIDE, THE $100 MILLION DOLLAR PLANE HAS ENOUGH GOLD

THAT IF MELTED DOWN, COULD GOLD-PLATE THE

OUTSIDE OF A GREYHOUND BUS.

SEAT BELTS.

LIGHT SOCKETS.

DECORATIVE TRIM.

THE CEILING PANELS ARE ULTRA-SUEDE.

THE SEATS ARE HIGH-GRADE LEATHER

THE CABINETS ARE RARE MAHOGANY.

THE PLANE HAS A SCREENING ROOM THAT'S THE SAME SIZE

AS A LARGE HOME THEATRE, AND EQUIPPED WITH A 57" TV.

THIS 757 EVEN HAS 2 BEDROOMS AND A SHOWER.

ANY MAN WHO FLIES FOR DONALD TRUMP IS NO ORDINARY PILOT.

JOHN DUNKIN HAS AVIATION IN HIS BLOOD.

MY FATHER WAS A MILITARY PILOT, AND HE ACTUALLY STARTED TEACHING

ME TO FLY WHEN I WAS 15 YEARS OLD.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, I STARTED FLYING AIRPLANE

BEFORE I COULD DRIVE A CAR.

IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT ALWAYS FASCINATED ME,

IT'S SOMETHING THAT I JUST GREW TO LOVE.

AND ONCE I HAD A CHANCE TO GO SOLO I WAS REALLY HOOKED

AND I DECIDED THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO DO.

(NARRATOR) AFTER YEARS AS TRUMP'S

PRIVATE PILOT, JOHN HAS LEARNED HIS ROLE,

EVERY FLIGHT MUST BE PLANNED TO PERFECTION.

AND THAT'S HARD, BECAUSE HIS BOSS HAS

A VERY BUSY AND UNPREDICTABLE SCHEDULE.

OBVIOUSLY ANY TIME THERE'S ANY KIND OF A SHORT NOTICE CHANGE,

WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT AS QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE,

SO WE DON'T INCONVENIENCE MR. TRUMP OR HIS SCHEDULE,

BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS.

(NARRATOR) TRUMP'S SIGNATURE LINE 'YOU'RE FIRED!'

IS AN UNLIKELY POSSIBILITY FOR THE EXPERT PILOT,

BUT DUNKIN IS NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES.

WELL, I'M SURE THAT IF I DAMAGED HIS AIRPLANE, YOU KNOW,

THAT PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE A GOOD THING.

AND I'M NOT SURE, MR. TRUMP'S A VERY FAIR MAN BUT I'M SURE

THERE'S SOMETHING I COULD DO THAT WOULD UPSET HIM.

(NARRATOR) NOW JOHN IS TAKING TRUMP

FROM PALM BEACH TO NEW YORK, TRUMP'S TWO HOMES.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A SLOT RESERVATION FOR AN ARRIVAL

AT LAGUARDIA FOR 1700 ZEE ON THE 26TH PLEASE.

(NARRATOR) BUT THIS IS NOT AN ORDINARY FLIGHT.

BECAUSE AFTER THIS ONE, THE PLANE'S GOING IN

FOR A ROUTINE SAFETY INSPECTION.

EVERY 18 MONTHS, WE DO A MAJOR INSPECTION ON THE AIRPLANE.

IT'S AN F.A.A. REQUIREMENT, IT'S PART OF OUR APPROVED

MAINTENANCE PROGRAM AND WHAT THAT BASICALLY

DOES IS THAT WE INSPECT THE ENTIRE AIRPLANE VERY, VERY,

CAREFULLY TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING'S IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER.

IT'S A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE, IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS ON

ALL THE JETS, JUST AT DIFFERENT INTERVALS AND IT TAKES QUITE

A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WORK AND TIME TO DO.

♪ ♪ ♪

(NARRATOR) BUT JOHN IS IN A RACE AGAINST TIME.

IN 3 WEEKS, TRUMP NEEDS TO GO TO LONDON

TO MAKE A KEYNOTE ADDRESS.

AND HE WANTS HIS 757 TO TAKE HIM THERE.

THAT'S ENOUGH TIME FOR THE SAFETY CHECK, BUT REALLY TIGHT

FOR A SERIES OF COSMETIC CHANGES AND UPGRADES THAT TRUMP WANTS

DONE WHILE THE PLANE IS IN THE SHOP.

(PHONE RINGING)

HELLO THIS IS JOHN.

(NARRATOR) BUT JOHN HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO SAY YES.

ALL RIGHTY.

(NARRATOR) MID-AFTERNOON,

JOHN DUNKIN AND CO-PILOT LARRY BRION READY THE 757 FOR TAKEOFF.

FIRST STEP, A VISUAL INSPECTION ON THE TARMAC.

THEN, THE FLIGHT CHECKLIST.

AFTER CLEARING SECURITY, THE BILLIONAIRE TYCOON BOARDS THE PLANE.

FIRST THING I DO WHEN I GET ON THIS AIRCRAFT

IS LOOK AROUND FOR DETAILS.

I ALWAYS STUDY THE DETAILS.

CLEANLINESS, I GO UP TO THE PILOT,

SEE HOW EVERYTHING'S GOING.

I LIKE TO LOOK AT THE COCKPIT,

I WANT EVERYTHING TO BE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.

SO JOHN, EVERYTHING IS GOOD?

EVERYTHING'S PERFECT MR. TRUMP.

ALL RIGHT, GOOD.

LETS' HAVE A GOOD FLIGHT.

ALRIGHTY.

THANK YOU.

(NARRATOR) EVEN FOR THIS REGULAR

FLORIDA TO NEW YORK FLIGHT, JOHN IS A MAN OF PRECISION

THAT SUITS HIS BOSS TO A TEE.

VEE ONE IS 121, VEE R IS 128.

AND VEE 2 IS 134.

(NARRATOR) DUNKIN AND DONALD TRUMP

HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING BASED ON YEARS OF TRUST AND RESPECT.

YOU NEED SOMEBODY WITH GREAT INTEGRITY AS TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS

OF MONEY IS AT STAKE IN TERMS OF MAINTENANCE,

IN TERMS OF TAKING CARE OF THE PLANE,

IN TERMS OF THE QUALITY OF THE PLANE ITSELF,

SO JOHN DUNKIN REALLY EPITOMIZES TO ME WHAT THAT'S ALL ABOUT.

ALL RIGHT, WE'RE READY TO TAXI.

THAT'S WHAT MR. TRUMP HAS HIRED ME FOR,

IS NOT ONLY TO FLY THE AIRPLANE BUT ALSO TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL

OF THAT PLANNING IS DONE CORRECTLY

AND TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS IN PLACE BEFORE WE DEPART.

CLEAR ON THE RIGHT JOHN.

(NARRATOR) THE PLANE NOT ONLY

FEELS LIKE A ROLLS ROYCE ON THE INSIDE

IT'S GOT 2 ROLLS ROYCE ENGINES POWERING IT,

WHICH WAS SOMETHING TRUMP DESPERATELY WANTED.

THE ENGINES ARE THE SAFEST IN THE INDUSTRY AND THE QUIETEST

IN THEIR CLASS, MEANING TRUMP CAN LAND THE AIRPLANE

EVEN IN NOISE RESTRICTED AIRPORTS.

ONE OF THE THINGS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME

ON THE BOEING 7-57 WAS THE ROLLS ROYCE ENGINES

THEY'RE SPECIAL, THEY'RE REALLY POPULAR, THE MOST POPULAR.

AND FRANKLY, I WAS HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GET THE ONE

WITH THE ROLLS ROYCE ENGINES.

WE REALLY WANTED THAT.

WELL FOLKS THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN SPEAKING

WE'RE NEXT TO THE RUNWAY, WE'LL BE DEPARTING MOMENTARILY,

PLEASE BE SEATED FOR DEPARTURE.

(NARRATOR) WITH 40,000 POUNDS OF THRUST, ON EACH ENGINE THE ROLL ROYCE'S

CAN PROPEL THIS JET TO 41,000 FEET IN JUST 20 MINUTES.

ISN'T THAT COOL? ONE TO GO.

YES, INDEED.

(NARRATOR) JOHN TAKES THE 757 NORTHWARD,

FROM PALM BEACH TO NEW YORK.

(NARRATOR) GIA PIROLO IS DONALD TRUMP'S PERSONAL FLIGHT ATTENDANT.

SHE'S BEEN WORKING FOR MR. TRUMP SINCE 2005.

THIS IS A VERY SHORT FLIGHT SO I'M

JUST PREPARING SOME REFRESHMENTS.

WE SHOULD BE LANDING ANY TIME SOON.

(NARRATOR) THIS BOEING 757 IS NO PASSENGER PLANE.

THIS IS DONALD TRUMP'S PRIVATE CORPORATE JET.

AND IT'S COME IN FOR A SAFETY CHECK IN BRUNSWICK, GEORGIA,

AT A HEAVY MAINTENANCE FACILITY CALLED STAMBAUGH AVIATION.

HOW'S YOU DOING WITH THE FUEL TANK?

BECAUSE WE HAVE ABOUT 100 EMPLOYEES

WE CAN TAKE ON SOME VERY LARGE PROJECTS.

(NARRATOR) THE INSPECTION IS ROUTINE, THE UPGRADES TRUMP HAS ORDERED

ARE NOT AND SCOTT DOES NOT WANT TO DISAPPOINT A HIGH

PROFILE CLIENT LIKE TRUMP.

WELL, WE'RE DOING A HEAVY STRUCTURAL INSPECTION,

WE'RE DOING INTERIOR UPGRADES,

WE'RE INSTALLING A WI-FI SYSTEM

WE'RE DOING PAINT UPGRADES

WE'RE DOING A FUEL TANK MODIFICATION.

(NARRATOR) HE HAS JUST 3 WEEKS REMAINING

TO GET IT OUT THE DOOR IN TIME FOR TRUMP'S TRIP TO THE U.K.

WE'VE GOT A LONG WAY TO GO AND A SHORT TIME TO GET THERE.

(NARRATOR) THE PRESSURE IS ON TO KEEP THE STANDARDS TOP NOTCH

WHILE COMPLETING THE MAINTENANCE INSPECTION.

DONALD TRUMP DOESN'T HAVE A $100 MILLION DOLLAR AIRCRAFT

SO HE CAN CHARTER.

HE WANTS HIS AIRPLANE AND HE WANTS IT RIGHT.

(NARRATOR) THE PLANE HAS BEEN AT STAMBAUGH FOR A WEEK.

TRUMP'S PERSONAL PILOT JOHN DUNKIN ARRIVES

FROM PALM BEACH TO MONITOR THE PROGRESS.

ANY TIME THE AIRPLANE GOES THROUGH ANY KIND OF A

MAJOR INSPECTION LIKE THAT, I ALWAYS LIKE TO BE PRESENT.

I LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT THINGS ARE GOING WELL,

THAT THEY DON'T HAVE ANY KIND OF QUESTIONS.

(NARRATOR) AND WHAT JOHN FINDS,

IS THAT TRUMP'S EXQUISITE AIRPLANE IS IN PIECES.

THE INTERIOR HAS BEEN COMPLETELY DISMANTLED

TO INSTALL THE NEW WI-FI SYSTEM.

ABSOLUTELY, I DEFINITELY GET A LEVEL

OF ANXIETY, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT I'M SO CAUTIOUS,

I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO IT.

THE ONLY THING I WAS GOING TO WATCH FOR MIKE,

WAS IF WE SEE ANY KIND OF SCUFFS

(NARRATOR) TRUMP'S CORPORATE CARPENTER MIKE COTO

IS ACCUSTOMED TO HANDLING THE DETAILS.

WE'LL START AT THE BACK, WORK OURSELVES FORWARD

WE'LL START CLOSING EVERYTHING UP.

WE'RE KIND OF THE CLOSERS IN THE BALL GAME,

YOU KNOW, AT THE END

THEY BRING THE GUY IN TO CLOSE THE GAME OUT.

THAT'S WHAT WE DO.

(NARRATOR) DONALD TRUMP WANTS

THE FLOOR MAT IN HIS GALLEY REPLACED

BECAUSE A SEAM IN THE MIDDLE OF IT HAS BEEN

OFFENDING HIS SENSE OF FLAWLESSNESS.

SO I UNDERSTAND WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SOLVE THAT BY

RELOCATING THE SEAM AROUND THE CORNER IS THAT CORRECT?

THAT IS CORRECT.

WE GET EXTREMELY DETAILED WHEN IT COMES TO THIS.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT BECAUSE

MR. TRUMP DEMANDS PERFECTION.

(NARRATOR) THE SMALL DETAILS ON THE INSIDE ARE KEEPING JOHN BUSY

BUT HE'S NOW GOT A BIG PROBLEM ON THE OUTSIDE.

THE ENGINE NOSE COWLS, WHICH HAVE BEEN SENT OUT TO

A SUBCONTRACTING COMPANY FOR REPAIR, HAVEN'T ARRIVED.

THE NOSE COWL IS THE CIRCULAR COVERING AT THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE.

IT DIRECTS AIR INTO THE TURBINE, AND PROTECTS IT FROM DAMAGE.

THE PLANE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITHOUT THE NOSE COWLS.

TRUMP'S NOSE COWLS WERE SENT OUT TO BE RESTORED

AFTER HUNDREDS OF HOURS OF FLIGHT.

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE NOSE COWLS?

I HAVE NOT.

THE LAST THING I HEARD ON IT, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THIS WEEK

BUT THEY HAVEN'T SHOWN UP YET.

I HAVEN'T HEARD ANY UPDATES ON IT.

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

(NARRATOR) THE TIMING COULD NOT BE WORSE.

GOOD AFTERNOON, THIS IS JOHN RHONA.

HI JOHN.

(JOHN) HI RHONA, HOW YOU DOING?

VERY GOOD AND YOU?

(NARRATOR) TRUMP'S VP AND CHIEF ASSISTANT RHONA GRAFF CALLS JOHN TO FIND

OUT EXACTLY WHEN THE JET WILL BE READY TO FLY TO LAGUARDIA

FOR TRUMP'S TRIP TO THE U.K.

I'VE BEEN WORKING FOR MR. TRUMP OVER 2 DECADES

AND I GUESS I'M WHAT MANY PEOPLE CALL HIS PROVERBIAL RIGHT ARM.

WHAT IS THE EXACT DATE THAT ALL OF THAT IS HAPPENING?

WHAT DATE WILL YOU BRING IT UP TO NEW YORK?

(JOHN) SO AS OF RIGHT NOW THE 26TH IS THE DATE THAT

WE PLAN ON FLYING IT TO LAGUARDIA.

PERFECT. VERY GOOD JOHN.

OKAY, RHONA.

(NARRATOR) HE RETURNS TO PALM BEACH,

FLORIDA, TO BEGIN PLANNING THE FLIGHT TO THE U.K.

HE CALLS THE FIXED-BASE OPERATOR AT STANSTED AIRPORT IN LONDON.

GOOD MORNING, THIS IS JOHN DUNKIN CALLING

WITH THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION FLIGHT DEPARTMENT.

HOW ARE YOU GUYS DOING TODAY?

(NARRATOR) PRIVATE AIRCRAFT ON THE SCALE OF TRUMP'S 757

HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS, AND DO NOT GET

THE SAME SUPPORT AS COMMERCIAL ONES.

JOHN HAS TO GO THROUGH EVERY DETAIL HIMSELF.

I APPRECIATE THE HELP, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO

CALL ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR ISSUES.

DO THEY HAVE A LAV CART THAT CAN SERVICE OUR LAVATORIES?

DO THEY HAVE BELT LOADERS THAT CAN REACH OUR BAGGAGE

COMPARTMENTS SHOULD WE NEED THEM?

DO THEY HAVE A STAIR TRUCK THAT'S HIGH ENOUGH TO MEET

THE REQUIREMENTS OF OUR STAIR AND OUR DOOR HEIGHTS?

TRUMP ORGANIZATION.

YES, ONE MOMENT PLEASE.

DONALD TRUMP THROWS IN AN UNEXPECTED TWIST

TO THE TRAVEL PLANS.

RHONA, COME ON IN.

(RHONA) OKAY.

HI, MR. TRUMP.

SO HOW ARE WE DOING?

GOOD, WE'RE IN GOOD SHAPE.

TELL ME.

SO I HAVE YOU LEAVING, OUT OF LA GUARDIA AT ABOUT

9:30 AT NIGHT AND THEN YOU SHOULD BE ARRIVING IN

ABERDEEN, SCOTLAND AROUND 6-7 IN THE MORNING.

(NARRATOR) TRUMP HAS DECIDED TO CHANGE PLANS

BEFORE LONDON, HE WILL TO GO TO ABERDEEN, SCOTLAND TO STEP UP

HIS PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR HIS NEWEST GOLF COURSE.

SO I'LL BE STOPPING THERE FOR 2 DAYS AND THEN I'M GOING

ON TO LONDON WHERE I'M MAKING A SPEECH IN FRONT OF A PACKED

HOUSE AND THAT WILL BE ON SUNDAY AND THEN WE HEAD RIGHT BACK TO

NEW YORK, SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN EXCITING FEW DAYS.

(NARRATOR) THE MISSION IS NOW DEFINED.

THE 757 WILL DEPART BRUNSWICK FOR NEW YORK'S LAGUARDIA AIRPORT

WHERE IT WILL PICK UP MR. TRUMP.

IT WILL THEN HEAD FOR ABERDEEN, SCOTLAND FOR A 2 DAY STOP OVER

BEFORE REACHING ITS FINAL DESTINATION,

LONDON'S STANSTED AIRPORT.

PILOT JOHN DUNKIN TAKES THE CHANGES IN STRIDE.

BUT HE KNOWS ABERDEEN, AND IT REQUIRES

SPECIAL ATTENTION.

IT'S ONE OF THE SHORTER STRIPS THAT WE OPERATE IN AND OUT OF.

AND SO CONSEQUENTLY, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR TAKEOFF

AND LANDING WEIGHTS ARE APPROPRIATE AND EXACT

FOR THE SAFE OPERATION IN AND OUT OF THAT RUNWAY.

(NARRATOR) JOHN ADJUSTS HIS FLIGHT PLANS.

THE 757'S MODIFICATIONS ARE ALMOST DONE,

SO HE HEADS BACK TO BRUNSWICK.

THE LONG-AWAITED NOSE COWLS FINALLY ARRIVE

THEY LOOK FANTASTIC.

DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB.

S-B-R-R-4-3-5-2.

IT'S A DIFFERENT COWL.

4-3-5-2...

(NARRATOR) THE SERIAL NUMBERS DON'T MATCH TRUMP'S.

THAT'S THE ONE.

DIFFERENT COWL!

I NEED THE 2 SERIAL NUMBERS WE SENT AND THE 2 WE GOT.

ALRIGHT, LET'S OPEN THIS ONE UP.

(NARRATOR) JOHN ANTICIPATES THAT THIS WILL BE TROUBLE.

I KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IS WE'RE GOING

TO HAVE TO GET OURS SCOTT, BECAUSE MR. TRUMP IS

ADAMANT ABOUT THAT, HE WANTS HIS PARTS ON HIS AIRPLANE.

WHEN YOU OWN IMPORTANT AIRCRAFT, ESPECIALLY ONE LIKE A BOEING 757

YOU IDEALLY WANT TO KEEP ALL OF THOSE PARTS TOGETHER

ESPECIALLY A PLANE LIKE I HAVE WHERE THERE IS SO FEW HOURS

ON THE PLANE, IT'S LIKE A NEW PLANE

AND YOU WANT TO KEEP EVERYTHING TOGETHER.

YOU DON'T WANT LOTS OF SWITCHES AND CHANGES.

LET ME TELL HIM THAT.

(NARRATOR) THE QUESTION JOHN AND SCOTT NEED TO FIGURE OUT IS

IF THE NOSE COWLS THAT WERE DELIVERED TODAY AREN'T TRUMP'S,

WHERE EXACTLY ARE THEY?

HEY RICK, THIS IS SCOTT.

WE THINK WE DON'T HAVE THE CORRECT NOSE COWL HERE.

IT IS OVERHAULED BUT WE KNOW THE TRUMP'S WANT TO PUT THE

EXACT SAME ONES BACK ON THERE BECAUSE OF THE LOW TIME.

OKAY, MY CONCERN IS THAT

THE NOSE COWL THAT BELONGS TO US HAS ACTUALLY BEEN OVERHAULED

AND IT'S SITTING THERE IN THE SHOP.

AND THAT SIMPLY WE SEND THIS BACK AND HAVE THEM SEND OURS.

THAT'S THE BEST SCENARIO THAT WE CAN SWAP THEM OUT.

WORST CASE IS THAT IT'S ON, YOU KNOW AN AMERICAN AIRLINES

AIRPLANE OR SOMEONE ELSE'S AIRPLANE FLYING AT 40,000 FEET RIGHT NOW.

EXACTLY, THAT WOULD NOT BE GOOD.

NO.

I KNOW MR. TRUMP AND I KNOW THAT HE WILL ONLY SETTLE FOR

HIS OWN COWLING ON THE AIRPLANE AND I DON'T BLAME HIM.

R-R-4-3-5-2.

IF THE COWLING'S ON ANOTHER AIRPLANE AND IT'S NOT READILY

AVAILABLE TO SHIP BACK TO US THAT COULD DEFINITELY

AFFECT OUR SCHEDULE.

IT COULD DEFINITELY PUT US BEHIND SCHEDULE

WE'RE REALLY HOPING THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE THE CASE.

RICK'S SAYING THAT IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN A MIX-UP

OH GOOD.

SO THERE'S NO WAY POSSIBLE FOR IT TO MIX UP

IT IS A TRUMP COWLING.

I'M BREATHING A BIG SIGH OF RELIEF.

IT'S GOING TO BE A HUGE CROWD.

(MR. TRUMP) WOW!

THE JOB IS COMPLETE.

WE'RE DONE. THAT'S A WRAP.

THEY USE YOU, THEY GET WHAT THEY WANT

AND THEN THROW YOU OFF.

BUT THEY ALWAYS CALL US BACK, THAT'S THE BIGGEST THING.

(NARRATOR) FINALLY IN THE AIR,

JOHN AND HIS CO-PILOT LARRY BRION FEEL CONFIDENT

THEY'LL REACH MR. TRUMP ON TIME AFTER ALL.

THE AIRPLANE LOOKS SPECTACULAR,

DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB ON IT, IT LOOKS GOOD,

MAINTAINED TO THE EMPTH DEGREE,

LOOKS SPECTACULAR.

IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK.

MAN I FELT LIKE I WAS STARVING, HONESTLY I FELT LIKE I WAS

MISSING SOMETHING NUTRITIONALLY FROM NOT FLYING.

(NARRATOR) THEY ARE HEADING FOR LAGUARDIA

ONE OF THE MOST HECTIC AIRPORTS IN AMERICA.

WHERE RUNWAY MAINTENANCE HAS CREATED AN AIRPORT

SHUT DOWN AT MIDNIGHT.

BUT JOHN PLANS ON HAVING MR. TRUMP IN THE AIR BY 9 PM.

WE'VE GOT THE ACCELERATOR DOWN HERE

AND WE'LL BE AT LAGUARDIA AS QUICK AS WE CAN.

(NARRATOR) WHILE JOHN FLIES TO LAGUARDIA,

THE TRUMP TOWER RESTAURANT IS PREPARING

THE MEAL FOR THIS EVENING'S FLIGHT.

NOTHING BETTER THAN ROAST TURKEY, RIGHT?

IT'S THANKSGIVING EVERY DAY HERE.

(NARRATOR) EXECUTIVE CHEF CHRIS DEVINE

SETS A HIGH STANDARD FOR AIRLINE FOOD.

SUGAR SNAP PEAS.

(NARRATOR) CHEF IS COOKING FOR JUST 4 PASSENGERS TONIGHT.

BUT EVEN FOR THIS LATE NIGHT SNACK,

HE GOES ALL OUT.

(CHRIS) A LOBSTER SALAD, A GULF SHRIMP COCKTAIL

ROAST TURKEY BREAST, ROAST SIRLOIN OF BEEF

AND OUR HOUSE MADE CORNED BEEF, DELICIOUS!

WE ALSO HAVE OUR HOMEMADE COOKIES

AND SOME MIXED GREEN SALAD.

I GUESS YOU SHOULD HAVE THE SALAD BEFORE THE COOKIES.

CHRIS, YEAH, THE FOOD IS READY FOR THE PLANE.

(NARRATOR) CHEF CALLS MR. TRUMP'S

BODYGUARD TO MAKE PICK UP ARRANGEMENTS.

THE MEALS ARE WRAPPED IN CLEAR PLASTIC

SO AIRPORT SECURITY CAN INSPECT IT.

IT'S PICKED UP FROM TRUMP TOWER,

AND DELIVERED TO THE T-BIRD, TRUMP'S 757.

(NARRATOR) AS JOHN APPROACHES LAGUARDIA

A NOTORIOUSLY BUSY AIRPORT,

THE WEATHER IS BEGINNING TO SOCK IN.

WINDS ARE 200 AT 8, 10 MILES OF VIZ, 6000 BROKEN.

(NARRATOR) PUBLIC AND PRIVATE JETS

CAN SPEND TIME CIRCLING THE AIRPORT IN A HOLDING PATTERN,

WAITING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO LAND.

THERE'S NO FAST-TRACK, EVEN FOR BILLIONAIRES.

IT'S FIRST-COME, FIRST SERVED.

DESPITE THE FOG, JOHN FINALLY GETS THE ALL-CLEAR TO LAND.

SPEED BRAKES UP.

AND REVERSE.

FEELS GREAT TO BE BACK IN NEW YORK.

WE TAKE OFF FROM MANY PLACES

THE AIRPLANE JUST WANTS TO HEAD FOR NEW YORK.

I LIKE NEW YORK.

ME TOO.

(NARRATOR) AS THE PILOT OF A PRIVATE CORPORATE JET,

JOHN DUNKIN MUST REPORT TO A SMALLER PRIVATE TERMINAL.

HE HAS NONE OF THE SUPPORT OF THE COMMERCIAL AIRLINERS.

WE HAVE TO DO OUR OWN FUELING,

WE HAVE TO DO OUR OWN CATERING,

WE HAVE TO DO OUR OWN LAVATORY SERVICE,

WE HAVE TO DO OUR OWN HANDLING

AND OUR PLANNING, THINGS LIKE THAT.

(NARRATOR) SECURITY MEASURES FOR

PRIVATE PLANES ARE ALSO HANDLED DIFFERENTLY

FROM COMMERCIAL AIRLINES.

ESPECIALLY WHEN THE OWNER IS AS HIGH PROFILE AS DONALD TRUMP.

LET'S GO EACH WHEEL, LEAN OVER EACH ONE,

LOOK AT EACH BRAKE ASSEMBLY

THEN KINDA GO UP THE STRUT THERE.

(NARRATOR) ERIC MOILANEN AND HIS

COMPANY PREMIER CORPORATE SECURITY INC.

HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR DONALD TRUMP SINCE 2009.

THIS IS TRULY AN AIRLINER, BUT IT IS NOT AT AN AIRLINE

GATE WHERE THERE IS UNLIMITED SUPPORT STAFF FROM THE AIRLINE.

WE'RE PROVIDING IT ALL ON THE PRIVATE SIDE OF THINGS.

WE'RE JUST HERE AT THE DIRECTION OF MR. TRUMP

TO SECURE HIS AIRPLANE AND MAKE SURE THAT

HE MEETS ALL THE APPLICABLE STANDARDS.

(NARRATOR) UNDER T.S.A. RULES,

THEY HAVE TO SWEEP FOR ALL THE RESTRICTED ITEMS

REQUIRED ON A COMMERCIAL JET, SUCH AS WEAPONS,

EXPLOSIVES OR SHARP OBJECTS.

THE AIRPLANE IS LOCKED DOWN,

YOU'LL HAVE THE NORTH WING TIP,

YOU'LL HAVE THE SOUTH WING TIP.

COLLEEN WITH MAINTAIN THE ACCESS POINT.

AND I'LL ROVE IN-BETWEEN.

(NARRATOR) CAPTAIN DUNKIN EXPECTS

WHEELS UP BY 9 PM, A GOOD 3 HOURS BEFORE

THE AIRPORT CLOSES FOR MAINTENANCE.

BUT BY NOW HE SHOULD KNOW THAT HIS BOSS DOESN'T

ALWAYS PLAY BY THE RULES.

AH, I TELL YA...

YOU MEAN, AT THE AIRPORT AT 11:30?

YEAH, WELL, YOU KNOW, WE'LL MAKE IT WORK.

WE'LL MAKE IT WORK.

(NARRATOR) MR. TRUMP IS WATCHING

THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE AT THE OFFICE ON TV,

JEOPARDIZING THE TAKE-OFF BEFORE MIDNIGHT.

WELL, IT'S KIND OF UP TO THEM.

IT'S TOTALLY UP TO THE PORT AUTHORITY,

UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T CONTROL IT.

(NARRATOR) AND HE DOESN'T CONTROL THE WEATHER EITHER.

GENE COME IN PLEASE, GENE COME IN.

(NARRATOR) ROBERT MCADAMS IS THE GENERAL MANAGER OF SHELTAIR,

THE PRIVATE TERMINAL WHERE TRUMP'S 757 PARKS WHEN AT LAGUARDIA.

THE WEATHER TODAY HAS NOT BEEN CONDUCIVE FOR AIR TRAVEL,

YOU HAD GOT FOG, YOU HAD SHIFTING WINDS,

THE AIRPORT CHANGED RUNWAY CONFIGURATIONS

A FEW TIMES SO ALL OF THIS

ADDS TO DELAYED FLIGHTS.

(NARRATOR) THE RUNWAY IS JAMMED

WITH BACKLOGGED PLANES AND THE ONES THAT AREN'T

IN THE AIR BY MIDNIGHT ARE GROUNDED.

TRUMP NEEDS TO BE IN THE AIR BEFORE MIDNIGHT

AND IT'S UP TO JOHN TO FIND A WAY

TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

YOU STAY IN THE CAR AND THEN AND THEN I'LL

BRING THE BOSS DOWN BACK TO YOU TO THE CAR

AND THEN YOU GO TO THE STAGING AREA AND COME OUT TO THE RAMP.

(NARRATOR) THEY HAVE JUST HALF AN HOUR

TO GET MR. TRUMP THROUGH THE PRIVATE SECURITY GATE,

INTO THE PLANE AND UP IN THE AIR.

WE'LL HAVE AN ENGINE ALMOST RUNNING

SO THE SECOND HE STEPS FOOT ON THE AIRPLANE WE'RE READY

TO START THOSE ENGINES UP AND TAXI OUT.

THE OTHER OPTION IS JUST NOT HAPPENING.

WE DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT,

WE DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT

WE'RE GONNA GO.

IT HAS TO HAPPEN THERE'S NO IFS, ANDS OR BUTS

MR. TRUMP OBVIOUSLY HAS A VERY HECTIC SCHEDULE

SO EVEN BEING ABLE TO SAVE A FEW HOURS TO TRAVEL IN A PLANE

MR. TRUMP DECIDES HE'S HAD ENOUGH FOR ONE NIGHT.

OKAY, GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY.

YOU CAN'T MAKE A GOOD LANDING OUT OF A BAD APPROACH.

2,000 WILL WORK, BUT IF WE CAN GET TO 1500

WE'LL PLAN ON DOING THAT.

WE HAVE TO CLEAR THAT WITH ABERDEEN CONTROL
