Kristi Noemâs Phantom Jets: Engines Sold Separately, Please!
In a headline that must have made the TSA blink twice, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem teamed up with Corey Lewandowski, Trumpâs first campaign manager, in a scheme to buy 10 Boeing 737s from Spirit Airlines. Only problem? The jets donât exist on Spiritâs books, and the ones supposedly bought come without engines â kind of like ordering a pizza without the cheese. Reported on a fateful Friday by the Wall Street Journal, the plan was for these ghost planes to expand deportation flights and also serve Noemâs personal travel. Itâs a groundbreaking approach to air travel: buy the hull and hope aerodynamics work themselves out!

Buying 10 engine-less planes for deportations *and* personal trips? Kristi Noem just redefined budget air travel: âSpiritâ might be the airlineâs name, but apparently not the aircraft's.
Looks like DHS tried to Airbnb airplanesâno engines, no ownership, just a dream and some very confused flyers.
Kristi Noemâs plan to deport on ghost planes is genius! Why pay for engines when you can just deport with vibes?
