FLORIDA- Former President of the United States, Donald Trump Boeing 757 aircraft wing hit the parked corporate plane at Florida Airport after landing and taxing on Sunday (May 12, 2024) morning.
It’s unclear if Trump, who held a campaign rally in Wildwood, New Jersey, on Saturday, was on his Boeing 757 when its winglet touched the rear elevator of a parked VistaJet in West Palm Beach.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) notice about the event, which happened at 1:19 a.m. ET on Sunday includes the tail number of Trump’s plane, N757AF.
In their statement, the FAA mentioned, “A privately owned Boeing 757 landed safely at West Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) around 1:20 a.m. local time on Sunday, May 12.”
“While taxiing, its winglet came into contact with a parked and unoccupied corporate jet,” the FAA reported. “The incident took place in an area of the airport where the FAA does not control aircraft movement. The FAA is investigating.”
A winglet is a small fin that extends upward from an aircraft’s wing, designed to reduce aerodynamic drag.
Thankfully, no injuries were reported from the incident.
Trump resides at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach. Currently, Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, is on trial in New York state court facing criminal hush money charges. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges of falsifying business records.
On Tuesday, Trump’s defense lawyer Todd Blanche began cross-examining Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal attorney and fixer, who is a key witness in the case.
Trump has denied having had any sexual relations with Daniels and any involvement in the payoff, asserting that the case is politically motivated to damage his electoral prospects.
