Hey is this just a transport for some politcal figures in the states ie... Sec of State, or presidential advisors? Maybe Sec of Defense??? Anyone know? I noticed it being a 757 with winglets obviously recently retro fitted. Was this the US Air Forces from production or used to belong to an airline???

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the one Condoleezza Rice flys around?

Used for various reasons. Sometimes the Prez uses it, sometimes the Viz Prez, Condo has used it, some members of the "first family." Basically VIP flights for the U.S. government.

Diddo. It's just a VIP "pool" aircraft - whomever is deemed worthy enough to require a VIP aircraft might get this one. If the pres flies on it, it's AF1. If the Vice Pres flies on it, it's AF2. Anyone else, it's just a SAM flight.

They got Pelosi flying around on the C-32A, right? Pelosi deserves Greyhound bus, not no 757 and she should be damned happy with a GV!

She's got (well, not hers alone) three brand new C-40Cs to choose from.....
Good for coast to coast with the whole CA delegation. Even made it to China (not sure a stop is needed with the full 40 pax load if the polar route is taken).

Quoting SBBRTech (Reply 15): Are these US gov´t aircrafts named like Air Force 2, Air Force 3....and so on?
No. Any plane with the active POTUS on board is Airforce one. Any plane with the active Vice President on board is refered to as Airforce 2.

Not quite, that applies to USAF only. It could also be Marine One, Army One, etc. Private a/c would be Executive One IIRC. Don't know what the protocol would be if he took a flight with a foreign military a/c for some reason.

Air Force One, Air Force Two, Marine One, etc. are call signs for aircraft movements with specific individuals aboard, not designations for aircraft types.
