Real estate tycoon Donald Trump has just purchased a Boeing 757 airplane from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen for the small fee of $100 million!

Trump, who owns a Boeing 727 with gold-plated sinks, a master bedroom and more, is currently retrofitting the aircraft with plans for it to go into service in a month or so.

The plane’s size will be handy for cross-country trips if Trump decides to run for president on the Republican ticket. He says he will make that decision in June.

US aerospace giant Boeing has forged an alliance with marketing firm Space Adventure to put tourists into low-level orbit in a futuristic capsule by early 2015.

Members of the public will be able to see the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner for the first time at next week’s Farnborough Air Show, the firm has announced.

The new Dreamliner, set to go into service later this year, will be presented alongside its rival Airbus’s A380 superjumbo at the show, which runs July 19 – 25.

It will be the official debut of the Boeing 787 with scheduled tours offered by Boeing to trade visitors on July 19 and 20.

Donald Trump is upgrading to a larger plane and put his personal jet up for sale yesterday.

The current jet, a 1968 Boeing 727 originally operated by American Airlines, is completely kitted out.

A plane like this usually has 134 seats but this plane was reconfigured to hold just 24 passengers in the lap of luxury.

Noah Fulmor and Erin Finnegan (pictured below) will be the first couple to be married in zero gravity.

The couple, lifelong space fans will exchange rings and vows on June 20, in front of their closest family and friends aboard a modified Boeing 727-200 plane owned by the Zero Gravity Corp.

The plane will depart from Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Fla., and make steep dives while airborne to give the passengers eight full minutes of weightlessness, just as astronauts experience while flying in space.

Boeing executive jet sales have plummeted in the slower economy, according to information from the 2009 European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva

Boeing sold eight new personal luxury jets since the show last year but had four orders cancel, leaving a net gain of four. This is an 87 percent drop from the last period between shows, when Boeing sold 33 of the aircraft.

The jets are usually called BBJs when they’re based on Boeing 737s, and VIPs when based on larger airframes.
