Trump's B757

There was an interesting documentary on this aircraft recently.


Certainly a nice machine, couple of questions come to mind. After some cabin mod's the aircraft was weighed and the number given was approx 141,400 pounds.


Seems a little heavy compared to my outfit where the average OEW is around 130,000. Of course this is a no expense spared cabin, just curious how typical this is on a private 757.


The other question is that it doesn't appear to have any auxiliary fuel tanks, i'm sure the performance with full tanks and operating at significantly lighter weights than the airlines is sufficient, just wondered if it ever had them or were there plans to install ?
