Senator bails out of PC-12 share
Missouri Sen.

Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill (D), who is likely to face a tough re-election race next year, is selling the share of a Pilatus PC-12 she and her husband own following disclosure that they owed more than $287,000 in property taxes on the single-engine turboprop. She has since paid the taxes.

“I have convinced my husband to sell the damn airplane,” said McCaskill, a former state auditor. Vowing to fly coach as often as possible or use charter flights as infrequently as possible, she said her husband has hired a broker to dispose of the Pilatus.
