There are two small bunk rooms immediately aft of the cockpit. If I remember correctly, each room has two bunks. They are intended primarily for crew rest during long flights, unless they are taken over by VIP's who often come out of nearby Washington, D.C. to go overseas on C-5's. Then the crew has to go "begging" for rest space while the VIP rests comfortably in his "private cabin."

Pardon my obvious politics here, but that used to be a pet peeve of mine that I just can't seem to forget.

Thanks, Generals and attaches get the Golden treament to some degree it sounds. I have a USAF nephew in law at
Andrews.

Not sure exactly what he does but he's around big birds.

re: VIPs.. Congressman and such are unlikey to ride these I would take it.
