Donald Trump announced his running mate on Monday and also introduced a new campaign aircraft. According to various reports, Vance will be using a 22-year-old Boeing 737-800 (N917XA) for the campaign trail. The aircraft was previously operated by IAERO Airlines, which ceased operations in April of this year. Over its service life, the plane has been used by various airlines and charter services and is likely configured with a two-class interior rather than the luxurious fittings of Trump's 757.

An unusual detail noted by FlightAware is that the tail number N917XA was scheduled for a flight from Miami to Havana, Cuba, earlier this morning.
