:)

This is about upgrading the old fleet of C20B 1988s and C20H 1992 to the newer C-37s or C-40 with BEDS.

On the C-37 http://www.theaviationzone.com/factsheets/c37.asp we have this statement

Currently, there are three C-37s stationed at MacDill AFB, FL, two at Andrews AFB, MD, and one at Chievres, Belgium.

and from the post on the C-40( think 737)
one of the most luxurious planes in the Air Force's fleet -- the C-40 -- which boasts a private bed, an entertainment center, and a crew of 16."

Pentagon generals are just trying to use the Speaker of the House NEEDS for something they WANT...

over three hundred and sixty tons of untraceable hundred dollar bills for the first go around so now they need bigger planes for the real mother lode...
