Donald Trump asked “a lot of questions” that showed his general knowledge about aviation issues when he grilled the Air Force’s mobility chief in December about what he considered an overpriced new Air Force One, the four-star general said.
“He’s an aviation enthusiast,” General Carlton Everhart said in an interview about his meeting with Trump, who was president-elect at the time. Trump traveled in his own Boeing 757 when he ran for president, and he once operated an airline providing shuttle service on the East Coast.
