Head down to the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! at Santa Lucia Air Force Base international airport!
There’s actually an interesting story about the B757. It was the President’s airplane for decades. Bought originally by President Miguel De La Madrid (A hilariously corrupt man who also bough dozens of other planes for the government) it was also in service for Salinas, Zedillo, Fox, Calderon, and Peña Nieto.
At the height of the drug wars, Calderon video recorded a message to his family in the case he was murdered in that aircraft en-route to a hospital’s inauguration in Tamaulipas. He was told by intelligence officials that a “credible threat” to his person was made, and that it would involve the presidential airplane being destroyed.

Several look hoonable. I’m liking the 757. I wonder what the Cessna 182s will go for.

3 AW109?! This actually may be of interest to our helimed service as we are transitioning to all AW109 for their high altitude performance.

Plus, these are government planes... which translates to the grandpa with a Ford Raptor that never red-lines it, services it in the dealer, and changes the oil every six months.

Ah yes, Mexican government officials love AW109s... It’s the ultimate symbol of corruption here. Surely you can go to a Mexican Consulate and ask about it, or maybe call SEDENA... though they’re probably all sold by now :(
But the real symbol of corruption is the Eurocopter EC145; the one famously used by the old Pemex CEO as a daily driver to his office.

The US should buy the 787 for our next Air F
orce 1. That would help Mexico pay for the wall.

That would be great! Except for the stupid USAF requiring quad jet aircraft for AF1.
