Here's an idea: tax them all

Trump's 'private jet' is a Boeing 737... nothing surprises me anymore.

At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a Tupolev Tu-204.

Or that it was paid for by his university or charities.

I wish you could browse to see which airports are used. Could be a good resource for scheduling protests

You can specify call numbers on adsb-exchange and see who's in the air and where they're landing, but it would have to be a flash protest at the front of the airport, and I assume these guys have a driver that's allowed to drive out to the plane so they wouldn't even be walking out of the front of the airport where you'd be protesting.

True, but for example, I live by a small executive airport, and there is only one way for cars to get in or out. So as long as you blockade access to the airport, they will be sitting ducks.
