Presidential plane added to the A/F Museum

The museum will display a 10th aircraft in its new Presidential Gallery. When the fourth building opens on June 8, visitors will be able to see the C-20B VIP transport aircraft, which arrived at the museum last fall. Equipped with secure, worldwide communications, C-20Bs were assigned to the 89th Airlift Wing at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., and provided executive airlift to thousands of high-ranking government and Department of Defense officials for more than two decades. Capable of landing at smaller airfields, the C-20B provided an efficient way to transport smaller groups of very important people. During its long service, this aircraft carried President William J. Clinton and former Presidents James E. Carter, Gerald R. Ford and George H.W. Bush. It also carried presidential spouses, several secretaries of state and defense, foreign dignitaries and numerous high-ranking civilian officials and military personnel.

Is that 'Pelosi's plane'? Or did she demand something larger?

She got a larger one. That one didn't have the range with required weather avoidance added. God forbid she may have to stop in middle America for more fuel.
