What was this aircraft doing at TOC last Thursday? Ship 80001 was the tail number.

That has got to be the sexiest 757 in the air. Seriously!

Maybe it was there for some maintenance work? Delta TechOps does have contracts with the USAF and the USN involving their C-40s (73Gs), so perhaps them doing something on a C-32 is not out of the realm of possibilities.

I'm wondering why Secretary Clinton travels on a 757 when she often flies to places well outside the range of the aircraft. This leads to some other questions....

Do these 757's have additional fuel capacity to increase range?

Wouldn't a 767/787 sized aircraft be better suited to for the long range missions of the govt officials?
