A congressman who represents one of the poorest districts in Pennsylvania appears to have gone great lengths to hide that he owns a $1.5 million helicopter.
NOTUS reported on Friday that Republican Rep. Rob Bresnahan owns a 2024 Robinson R66, a chopper that retails between $1 million and $1.5 million.
Bresnahan has yet to list the helicopter on his congressional financial disclosure forms.
He’s never spoken about it publicly and it’s unlisted on the popular flight tracking website FlightAware.
‘This aircraft (N422RB) is not available for public tracking per request from the owner/operator,’ a message reads, NOTUS found.
The news site was able to get a spokesperson to admit Bresnahan was the owner by analyzing Federal Aviation Administration record, other congressional financial disclosures and commercial flight data made available by the ADS-B Exchange website.
The website found that he purchased the helicopter in late 2024 using a limited liability company called ‘RPB Ventures LLC.’
A spokesperson for Bresnahan told NOTUS that the Pennsylvania Republican bought the helicopter while he was campaigning for Congress last year.
