If the Air Force has this larger plane in its "plane pool"
for government use and if it is indeed "more luxurious" than Hastert's as claimed, my question is:

Who currently uses this "luxury plane" to fly about the country?

2. It's just the VIP pool, if I recall correctly, Condi Rice has used it...
and there's this story about her giving the bed to another foreign diplomat.

3. "Special Air Mission"
Special Air Mission aircraft provide safe, comfortable, and reliable air transportation for the President, Vice President, Cabinet, members of Congress, and other high-ranking American and foreign dignitaries. Flying worldwide, SAM aircraft represent the highest level of DV travel and must meet stringent schedule and protocol requirements under intense media scrutiny. The 89th Airlift Wing provides this service with 17 aircraft dedicated to the SAM and 15 helicopters supporting federal emergency requirements.
