WASHINGTON, May 14 (Reuters) - Former U.S. President

Donald Trump's private Boeing 757 clipped another corporate jet

while taxiing at West Palm Beach International Airport in

Florida on Sunday, a source familiar with the incident said on

Tuesday.

The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that

a privately owned 757 contacted a parked and unoccupied

corporate jet at the south Florida airport. The FAA statement

did not identify the plane as belonging to Trump.

The incident occurred in an area of the airport where the

FAA does not direct aircraft, the agency said, adding that it is

investigating.

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request

for comment.

Trump held a rally in Wildwood, New Jersey, on Saturday. The

incident occurred after the plane landed at the West Palm Beach

airport at about 1:20 a.m. on Sunday.

Trump's 757 is a staple of airport presidential campaign

rallies and at one rally in Ohio in March a voice announced:

"Trump Force One, you are cleared for landing."

Trump purchased his $100 million Boeing 757 in 2010 and the

heavily customized plane includes gold plated accents, two

private guestrooms, three bathrooms, dining and conference areas

and an extensive entertainment system. The plane was built in

1991.

Trump in January urged Boeing ( BA ) to resume building the 757,

which it discontinued in 2004. "Boeing ( BA ) should bring back the

757, the most beautiful, best handling plane (from the pilots

standpoint!) that Boeing ( BA ) ever made," he said on social media.
