Isn't a C-20 a Gulfstream III? If it is, it most certainly CAN fly coast to coast--especially with long runways like Andrews AFB and San Fran Intl!!! The statement that a GIII cannot fly coast to coast is ridiculous.
But a G550 can fly from DC to Tokyo non stop without issue, however the likes of Maria Carey travel via BBJ (737) and the third Reich leader should be able to travel better than someone who uses their own money to pay for it.
A 757 is definitely the plane for Herr Pelosi.
Yup! Range is 4200 miles. Good catch ............. FRegards
A C-20B is a G-III, but a C-20H, is a G-IV. From the Air Force Fact sheet
The C-20A/B, military versions of the Gulfstream III, was chosen in June 1983 as the replacement aircraft for the C-140B Jetstar. Three A models were delivered to the 89th Airlift Wing under a cost-saving accelerated purchase plan. Upon delivery of the C-20B's, Andrews transferred the three C-20A's to Ramstein Air Base and all C-140B's at both locations were phased out of the U.S. Air Force inventory. In 1992, Gulfstream delivered their latest model, the C-20H (Gulfstream IV) to Andrews AFB. In 2002, the C-20A was selected for decommissioning and two C-20Hs at Andrews were transferred to Ramstein.
So it the -Hs are at Ramstein, then the ones at Andrews must be -Bs, since the fact sheet also shows only two -H models in USAF service, and 5 -B models.
She says she needs a bigger plane for her entourage. How about a C-17 or C-130? If it's good enough for the troops it's good enough for Nancy!
