That's my last one, anyone know who long it's expected to stay so I can consider a trip up please, I see it is on FR24 as arriving and being on the ground at the moment.

This is only my second C-32A, Only one seen so far before today was the COP 26 from Edinburgh which accompanied Air Force One.

Correct as appears to be becoming standard with the 86th AW fleet at Andrews

I wonder if we'll see the VC-25s with no serials worn externally too in time
