. As was pointed out earlier, the smaller aircraft can fly the route non-step IF the weather conditions/atmospherics are right. Sometimes they will be, sometimes they won't.

Since the C-37A's range is over twice the distance from DC to SFO, I'm sure they can make it even with headwind. The same would not have been true for the C-37A's older sibling the C-20B, which is a Gulfstream III, although it's stated range also exceeds the DC-SFO distance.

As was pointed iut in earlier threads, even the G 3 has plenty of no matter the headwinds. The range was purely a SMOKESCREEN by the Pelosi Flying Circus to get a 757 and play the role of VP.
