Governors of both parties have come under fire for their use of state helicopters -- sometimes after criticizing their predecessor for the same thing.

Republican Gov. Tom Kean had the state purchase an executive helicopter for $4.7 million in 1985; he used it for 1,039 flights in during his second four-year term.

Next, Democratic Gov. Jim Florio sold two of the helicopters and insisted his administration "isn't about flying first class. It's about delivering first-class service to the people with no frills." But he used the helicopter even more than Kean, logging 2,319 flights.
