Beck’s 1966 DC9-15 aircraft has been listed on Controller, a site that sells used aircraft.
According to The Daily Beast, the jet’s registration number on the website, N8860, matches a Federal Aviation Administration registration number assigned to an aircraft belonging to Mercury Radio Arts, which is Beck’s radio production company.

The website boasts that the DC9-15 ‘has been privately operated, professionally maintained and considered to be one of the finest VIP DC-9-15 Executive Aircraft available today’.
It’s features include new custom paint, airframe and engine Inspections and custom VIP interior configuration.

The 12-passenger jet was purchased by Mercury Radio Arts in 2015 from right-wing billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife for $1million.
Beck held onto the plane despite financial struggles at his companies, including massive layoffs at his conservative media outlet, The Blaze, and its parent company, Mercury Radio Arts.
Beck said in September 2017 that he had laid off 20 per cent of his staffers.
He made the announcement in an article on The Blaze. He wrote at the time that his heart was heavy in making the decision, but it’s ‘an important first step in getting to where we are going’.
The conservative commentator didn’t give the exact number of staffers who were cut.

He has also been a critic of President Donald Trump. He said last March that he thought him being against Trump may have cost him some fans.
Beck addressed the challenges of navigating the media landscape, writing that he realized The Blaze had ‘to become more nimble and drastically adjust our approach to keep pace’.
In a 2014 open letter to his daughter, Beck said private air travel is the only luxury that would improve her life, according to the Daily Beast.
‘Private jet travel is the only material thing that can actually change your life,’ Beck said, according to his website. ‘However, refined manner, gentleness, meekness, kindness, will be the only currency of any true value.’
However, he has been a critic of members of congress who have supported tax carve-outs for private jet travel.
