What if the VP is going to Asia and beyond? or someplace beyond the range of this modified 757-200?

The 757-200 version for the VP has quite a bit of extended range. Not sure what they'd do for VP Cheney if he was headed to Australia but I'm pretty sure the VP's 757 could do Asia with one fuel stop.

As for going to Asia and "beyond"... http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...um/redface.gif Yikes!

Range is 5500nm. Asia is accessible with a brief stop in Hawaii. Or LA & then Guam.

Interested too in how many Fters have been on AF1.
I have - during Clinton years - and it a fabulous thing. great souvenirs too - in flight video uide, and "aboard the Presdential aircraft" matches. Woo hoo. Got to sit in the cockpit too - not while it was flying of course!

While these planes do make fuel stops at times, they are also equipped with inflight fueling equipment which negates the need to stop if they choose.


All times are GMT -6. The time now is 7:22 pm.
