These were taken at Wellington Airport, New Zealand, on March
10. Sorry, they are the best I could do from an airplane window at
that distance. It is a Boeing 737-800 (with winglets) in the same
paint scheme as Air Force 1 & 2.
I was not aware of this model 737 until then, though in the
following days I flew on some Qantas versions. (That's how I know
they are designated 737-800.) How many does the Air Force have?
Are all of them VIP transports? And any idea what VIP(s) might have
been in Wellington on March 10?

Designated as C-40 in US military usage. The USAF has a few, and use them
frequently to cart around senior Pentagon types; the ANG also has at least
one, replacing the 727 that the National Guard Bureau used to use. Also in
service with the USN. I believe PACOM has the use of one of the USAF
aircraft, which would be the likely source for the one you saw.
