Former President Donald Trump appears to be fundraising for a new plane after his private jet made an emergency landing over the weekend.

Trumps Save America PAC sent an email on Wednesday titled Update: Trump Force One that discussed the construction of a new plane, several news outlets reported .

The email was sent hours after news surfaced that a private plane carrying Trump from New Orleans to his Mar-a-Lago resort had to make an emergency landing Saturday because of an engine failure, Insider reported . That plane reportedly was loaned to Trump by a Republican donor.

I have a very important update on my plane, but I need to trust that you wont share it with anyone, wrote Trump in the email, according to Newsweek . My team is building a BRAND NEW Trump Force One.

The construction of this plane has been under wraps not even the fake news media knows about it and I cant wait to unveil it for everyone to see, it continued.

The email reportedly allowed recipients to see the new plane if they clicked an embedded link. The link actually directed to a donation page with the option to give between $5 and $2,000 to the Save America JFC PAC.

Trumps customized Boeing 757 was his pride and joy, serving often as a promotional ploy during his 2016 presidential campaign. Last year, CNN reported that it was in disrepair in a small New York airport about 60 miles from Manhattan, after sitting there unused since Trumps inauguration.
