Did you know she demanded a 757? Bigger than Air Force one!
757's are not bigger than Air force one 747-400
Typical, ego and the entourage sounds like the real reasons.
Will they rename whatever plane she ends up with "Palomino One"?
Air force one is any military aircraft that has the president aboard its not a plane however the current plane
for Bush is a 747 that is bigger than a 757 ok
That's not the type of "green" transportation I would expect from such a friend of the environment. Actually, on second thought it is exactly what I'd expect.
A 757 is not larger than a 747, which is what "Air Force One" is. I'm sort of surprised they didn't offer her a G-V, aka C-37A. That would have plenty of legs ( 6,300 miles) , but wouldn't be excessive (12 pax) , and they have more of them than C-20s anyway. C-20 has range of 4,250 miles, and also 12 pax. Andrews to San Francisco is 2,452 miles, so even with a headwind it can probably do the trick.
C-20B is good enough for the Speaker.
I heard a late replay of Levin's show...I loved some of the names: "Left Wing One", "A flying Lincoln Bedroom"...there was one more good one, couldn't remember.
