Is Trump's 757 likely to be scrapped where she is, or can Trump get a ferry permit to get it out of MGJ?
Having never actually owned a 757, I have to ask about these things.
Trump should go full Wayne Newton and keep it at Mar-a-lago.
My bad, yes wrong airfield.

Trump is in negotiations to buy the Peking Boulevard.

1.
It's at New York Stewart, which is SWF. Not MGJ in Orange Co., NY.
The long runway at MGJ is only 5000 foot asphalt, which is far too short and not rated for the weight of a Boeing 757.
2.
Why scrapped?
It can be parked where it is.
It can be used or not used.
It can be kept or sold.

The following CNN article has some untruths in it:
- ☣☣- ₲ⱠɆ₦Đ₳ -☣☣Lv 51 month ago
The aircraft isn't abandoned.
- as President, Trump wasn't allowed to use it.
- Presidents can't use their own cars either
- the engine on the plane is wrapped to keep birds out
- the other engine is out for repairs.
- the interior has been kept in pristine condition
Whoever did the story for CNN is a word wizard, to be sure, but the entire story was the usual CNN BULLSHlT !!!
As for the part about the age of the plane, AIR FORCE ONE is 4 years older than Trump's 757 !!

The latest report is that one engine is in need of repairs/replacement and it is at an airport out side of NYC.
He might scrap it, depending on cost of repairs and or modifications. This airframe when built had several options (Rolls-Royce RB211-535-C-37/-E4-37/-E4-B-37, Pratt & Whitney PW2037 PW2037 (M) or PW2040). There is always the possibility of a newer power plant being used provided the modification/s meet FAA rules.

If it was truly at MGJ, it would probably have to be scrapped, as MGJ is a small general aviation airport not big enough to handle a 757. The airplane is actually at SWF (Stewart), a former military base and now NYC's fourth international airport. (MGJ is Orange County Airport, SWF just happens to be in Orange County).
But whatever happens, the plane will be fixed up to fly it out, somebody will want it flying, even if it's a third rate cargo outfit.

That airplane was bought used twice (first a jetliner in a Denmark airline, then in Mexico) before being converted to VIP by Paul Allen, who then sold it off to the orange idiot.
A 30 year old aircraft is considered somewhat old, given that design is typically for a 25 year service life. While ferrying the obese imbecile around, it likely accumulated a lot less cycles than when flying passengers, the fact remains that 757 are being retired (the last model left the factory in 2004) and that the RD211 engine has been out of production since 1997; meaning that parts will be getting scarce.
The way things are going, it probably does not have much residual market value.

Ferrying still requires enough engines to fly. They plan to take it down to Louisiana for some long overdue service, if they can get a loaner engine for the trip.
