The NYPD used a $3 million counterterrorism plane to shuttle Mayor Bill de Blasio back and forth from his Canada vacation to the Big Apple for an event Thursday, the NY Post reports.

Hizzoner, who was in Quebec on a weeklong respite, briefly flew back to the Bronx for a memorial for slain Detective Miosotis Familia. “NYPD is transporting him in their plane,” de Blasio spokesman Eric Phillips told The Post.

“Their plane” is a Cessna 208 Caravan that cost roughly $3 million and was picked up by the department in 2017, sources said. The high-tech aircraft is outfitted with special sensors that can detect at a distance radioactive material used to make “dirty bombs.”

Police sources questioned the use of a special plane for mayoral transportation. “It is very unusual to go on an international flight to go pick up the mayor,” one source said. “I think it’s excessive, because that wasn’t what that plane was designed to do. It’s designed for counterterrorism measures. To go to Canada to get the mayor? It’s excessive.” NY Post

  1. All politicians love spending other people’s money – every last one of them. The Democrats, though, excell in spending what isn’t even there, appropriating funds from cities and states that are bankrupt, on verge of becoming bankrupt, or from those which are sorely lacking funds for the Democrats’ very own social programs – such as NYC.

  2. Not sure what this article is trying to get at, don’t you understand that some of us are more equal than others?
