In a notice, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed that a private Boeing 757 plane clipped a parked, emptied jet. Although the FAA did not specifically identify the plane as belonging to the former president, the agency provides the tail number of Trump's plane, N757AF.
The FAA said the mishap reportedly occurred in a part of the airport where the agency does not direct aircraft, but it is now investigating the matter.

Trump bought the Boeing 757 plane for $100 million in 2010. The customized aircraft built in 1991 has gold-plated accents, an entertainment system, two private guest rooms, three bathrooms, and dining and conference areas.
