Among a few others, the 89 Airlift Wing at Andrews AFB, Washington, DC
operate some of the following to haul VIP's around.

C-32 ---757
C-37 --- Gulf Stream
C-40 --- 737

All have 'poosh' interiors, special communications, serve #1 booze and
food. (Probably also Green Tea if you want G)

You wouldn't expect the Washington types (Congress and others) to fly
around 2nd class would you ????


Bottom line is that I stand corrected. Had forgotten the Special Air
Ops that had up graded to current civilian transports.
