There are 4x big air conditioners on top of the Obamabus.
Theoretically .... If the C-17 had “flat” roll-on ramps under the tail lift ramp. But then there would be no other room inside for the other 14 vehicles the SS wants.
Also, the “bottom” clearance below the chassis needs to be higher .. The C-17 and C-5 and C-130/C-141 bodies and ramps and tails are made for military spec 4-wheel drive axle clearances.
The buses are low-ground clearance, long distance between axles. Combine the two, and even Obama’s LIMO could not getup and over the “civilian limo” rated ramp at the Buckingham palace!
Note that we still have nothing the “assumption” of the AP writer that Obama rode the bus between all stops. Or even most of the stops.

Of course, who knows what they can do with unlimited amounts of the taxpayers’ money! :-)

MHE exist to lift the load up to the ramp level height.
