Republican leader wants to get Cuomo a new plane

[Madmallard]

The Republican leader of the New York Senate joked Monday that he’s willing to take flak to get Gov. Andrew Cuomo a new government plane because the current one is way past its prime and he’s got to fly on it.

Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan, during an unrelated press conference at the Nassau Coliseum, complained about the aging state aircraft.

“He and I are traveling back to Albany after the event. The last time we went on it, we prayed for a good trip,” said Flanagan, who represents part of Suffolk County.

Flanagan quipped that he preferred to travel in a plane that is “less than 35 years old … I will get criticized for that.”

Worried the old plane will not hold up for all of the use it will get during his attempt to run for the POTUS position.

NO NEW PLANE FOR YOU!

Stay alive, don't fly with FUAC.

 

[Phritz]

NYS can't afford a new plane. Just going to have to run this one into the ground.
Sorry Andy. It's for the best.

 

[wizrd]

If anything - Cuomo should be travelling in a hot air balloon.

[nortatoga]

Meanwhile we have Air Force pilots still flying around in B-52s from the 50s.

Lol, that gave me a chuckle. And what do I say to this idiot, take a damn car, it's only up to Albany.

Flanagan is one of the douchebags who is responsible for saddling us with the SAFE Act. Eff him and his puppetmaster Cuomo.

 

[Deplorable Me]

There is no person at that level, that is that important, that has to be anywhere that fast within the state. Unless of course they're a media whore, micro manager.

And even then, his helo is more versatile. It can take off and land virtually anywhere. It can fly at altitudes not available to fixed-wing aircraft. And it can be used (if they ever properly equip it) for missions other than carting their lazy asses around. No, he should not have a new plane.

Buy one with no landing gear or just get a drone that will carry his fat Monkey face ass

That's a great idea. Someone SHOULD drone his monkey-faced ass.

 

[Calculon]

Fly commercial douchebag.

 

[2WheelGnnr]

If it aint broke......

OR ACTUALLY!!

handit down to SCHUMER and get ANDY AN OLDER PLANE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "retro-fitted" and maybe an oil change...

He is planning on having to make frequent trips to DNC fundraisers in California. The new helicopter won't make it that far.

Not so fast, I found a pilot for him.

Why do they have a plane. Why is one needed. Drive or take commercial air planes. How much does it cost to buy a plane, pay a pilot, and maintain said plane. I’m sure way more expensive than commercial airline.

 

[Acer-m14]

FLY COACH or hitch a FREE ride on a Military Transport and sit on your luggage FUAC

 

[Grimscale]

This State is BILLIONS in the hole, and these asshats want to keep buying "State aircraft"?
You'd better be giving free rides to the people of New York who are having to pay for your irresponsibility.

I just can't believe the gall of these putzes. Just who the hell do they think they are?

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

Be happy to strap his dumb ass to an ACME rocket. He'll get there much faster than any plane.......non stop service. FUAC.

Emperor Monkeyface has an annual salary of $179,000. He ranks as the FOURTH HIGHEST PAID GOVERNOR in the country. Based on a 40 hour work week, Monkeyface makes $86 PER HOUR, he can pay for a commercial flight between Albany and Rotten apple or for even greater savings he can drive it in about 2 hours

 

[2WheelGnnr]

yeah Andy...THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!!

 

[ProgSpear]

All this article says is that Flanagan is a self important kissass that needs the same pilot that @Deplorable Me cited.

Not so fast, I found a pilot for him.

 

[Mr. terzmo]

Billions in debt and that @$$hole wants a new plane for his butt buddy. They just got him a new helicopter.

 

[Defilade]

This is all Monkey Face needs.

My wife and I were just talking the other day about how we should upgrade our plane. Or not because we aren’t elitist assholes. Republican or Democrat doesn’t matter. They are all garbage. Is shooting those fuck sticks out of a cannon an option?
