Like him or not, he sure has a nice professional car.... He was in Worcester, MA yesterday
If I'm not mistaken, there are four limos that travel with him for redundancy and sleight of hand tactics. The same goes for the planes and helicopters. More than likely the others were stashed at Westfield on the MAANG base.That looks like (one of the planes) that "Mrs O" and VP Biden uses instead of the normal AIR FORCE-1 (747). It would be interesting to know how many "Beasts" were actually built and regularly travel with the President... as there has to be at least two if not three based on a recent (quick) three stop visit he made to CA... there just wasn't enough advance time to get it (if only one existed) to the next (2nd) stop. During a recent Alisha Ann Ruch Burn Run-Relay in LA, one of our stops was the Beverly Hills FD. Out in back were (2) Secret Service (Armored) Suburbans with the (partially concealed) roof mounted gun turrets, run flat tires on HD ("rim bolted together") aluminum wheels, etc. The tops and roofs were all pocked marked from the spent shells landing on them. The Fire Chief there said that they (USSS and-or Homeland Security) regularly stage vehicles for upcoming dignitary visits. MM
Mike, you are correct. That is the VP's jet. Worcester has a small airport which wouldn't support the larger Presidential jet. As for the number of Beasts, there were at least two here yesterday (see photo). JimThat looks like (one of the planes) that "Mrs O" and VP Biden uses instead of the normal AIR FORCE-1 (747).

There are 2 "Air Force One" 747's, tail numbers 28000 & 29000 which are for the exclusive use of POTUS. There is a very large fleet of other planes all painted in the same scheme. There are several 767's (I believe the photo above is one of them) and vatious other aircraft of all sizes. They are used by the VP, Sec'y of State, Mrs. Obama (sometimes the family dog), and other high ranking officials. Obama will use on of the smaller planes for "short hops" or if proper landing facilities are not available for the big ones.
I think the "Beasts" are some of the ugliest vehicles ever concieved, part car, part truck, just plain bad. JMHO.
Those are 757's or as known to the USAF, a VC-32A. They also operate 737's (VC-40), a few Gulfstream 4's and a couple Learjets.There are 2 "Air Force One" 747's, tail numbers 28000 & 29000 which are for the exclusive use of POTUS.

That logo on the side of the limo looks like the PCS logo Gregg has on his car door at all the PCS meets ! Same colors and size.
The photo with the plane and cars is awesome !
I like how the country is written out along the plane instead of just USA or a flag. Very official looking.
Pretty cool,
Darren
