In her last reelection campaign, McCaskill was criticized for her use of her private aircraft at taxpayer expense. She told her husband to "sell the damn plane."
He didn't--they bought a bigger, more expensive plane soonafter she fooled the people of Missouri and won reelection.
Now that she's getting ready for yet another reelection bid [we really need term limits], she's doing all she can to limit the taxpayer from seeing what they are paying regarding the use of her private plane, a Swiss-made Pilatus PC-12/47E, a single engine turboprop.
The Pilatus PC-12/47E costs around $5 million and can comfortably accommodate up to nine passengers from Russia or elsewhere. It has a range of 1,845 nautical miles and can honk along at 328 mph. This bird can also land on rough airstrips that other jets cannot negotiate.
The company McCaskill hired to operate the plane submitted paperwork in April to request tracking information of the jet be blocked from the pubic, according to email records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon via a FOIA request.
Before 2013, private aircraft owners or operators needed to present a "certified security concern" to the FAA in order to block aircraft data from public display on websites that track aircraft, such as FlightAware.com. But during the Obama error, this requirement was removed so that the public could be bilked out of tax money without knowing the reason. It made the "blocking process as simple as possible."
McCaskill and her crew refused to comment to media after multiple requests to explain why she's hiding her taxpayer-funded activities.
She reminds me of a kid who uses her dad's credit card and hides the bill.
