I live here in the "Hole" and my plane is based at JAC. Unless you sat
here and watched the carnival everytime Dick comes home to roost you
would never believe how much money is spent. It will make you shake
your head in disbelief.

If I had my d'ruthers between a C-17 and the C-130, I think I'd ride in the
latter and have them leave room for me in the cockpit. (He's the VP, he can
do whatever he wants.)

If I'm ever the Speaker or VP, I'd want something modest and not tied to the
current fleet. Specifically, I want a B-17. And passengers? They don't
get to sit unless it's on the floor during takeoff and landing. They'll
stand for twelve hours like Grandpa did, and if they have to pee, that's
what the waist window is for. The nose would provide as suitable office.

For shorter trips I'd settle for a more economical B-25.
