Registered in the United States as N757AF, the aircraft was first delivered to Denmark's Sterling Airways before entering service with Mexico's TAESA Airlines. In 1995 Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen purchased the plane to use it as a corporate jet. Trump's DJT Operations LLC bought the plane from Allen in 2011 and turned it into his toy by lavishly fitting it out with a private bedroom, a mahogany board table, and gold-plated fixtures.
