The “Air Force Two” designation is for any fixed wing aircraft carrying the Vice President of the United States. Just as “Air Force One” is an fixed wing aircraft with the current Pres__ent (or President if we have one) on board.
The plane that typically carries the Pres__ent is a VC25. Though he has used other planes as well. I think for the New York “date night” excursion they flew up in a C-37B. For that trip, the C-37B was “Air Force One.”
I can’t get to a TV right now. Did the First Lady fly over in another VC25? Or did they send the VC25 that was Air Force One back to pick her up? Either way, this sounds like a huge waste of taxpayer dollars. I don’t begrudge the first family from getting together, and if schedules required separate trips, that’s OK. But a C-37B would have been a better choice for shuttling the first lady over to catch up with Pres__ent Obama.
