NAMES IN THE NEWS : Trump Dumping Another ‘Ivana’
Donald Trump is asking $8 million for “Ivana,” the sleek, black helicopter named for the wife he’s divorcing.
The chopper has served as the flagship of Trump’s helicopter service between New York City and Atlantic City.
Trump purchased the 10-seat Aerospatiale AS 332L Super Puma for about $2 million from Warner Communications when that company was cutting its flight operations three years ago.
He customized the interior with trademark Trump touches, such as 24-carat gold plating on the seat belts, doorknobs and ashtrays.
Linden Airport operator Paul Dudley said Trump has been offered $7 million for the aircraft but is holding out for $8 million.
