A C-20 can make the 700-mile flight to Hastert's Aurora, Ill., district easily but would generally have to stop to refuel to complete the 2,800-mile trip from Washington D.C. to the San Francisco Bay Area, depending on the headwinds.

ABC is blatantly lying.

They are reporting these untruths in order to cover for her so she can get her "Pelosi One" C-32 that she covets.

The C-20 (military version of the Gulfstream IV) has one of the most amazing ranges of any aircraft in the world.

G-IV - Normal cruising speed 850km/h (460kt). Initial rate of climb 4000ft/min. Range with max payload and reserves 6732km (3633nm), range with eight passengers and reserves 7815km (4220nm).

In fact, the G-IV can fly from the US to points overseas with a greater range than most airliners. With a max range of more than 6,500 statute miles, nonstop transoceanic flights are routine.

For Pelosi's office to say this aircraft is unsuitable because it cannot fly from Washington DC to San Francisco and must refuel in Kansas or somewhere (and that is a security risk!!!) is a blatant LIE.

Now they are caught up in this web of deceit.

Someone should ping Drudge, Hannity, or Rush about this. Pelosi is throwing a fit because what she really wanted was exclusive use of the 89th Airlift Wing's C-32, a luxury version of the B-767 that is meant for overseas delegations of multiple DVs and government executives - not just one woman and her immediately family to use as their own private jet.

She wanted "Pelosi One" because she is power mad. This is more of her megalomania excess.

"When I am Speaker, I'll take any suite I want!"

Her office and the MSM are lying about the capabilities of the C-20. Moreover, she learned from her master (Hillary) to cite "Security Reasons" as a catch all for covering up her need for luxury and special perks. She just does not like the C-20 because it is not as lavish.
