I just watching a Fox News story with Joe Biden in a air transport (like a C5-A or C141) about his trip to Iraq---right behind him was an Airstream. The odd thing that occurred to me was that the story wasn't about the Airstream. Seen at: 4:30PM PDT, July 2, 2009.
Randy, somebody else reported this story when the "other guys" were in office a couple of years ago. I'd be interested to see if this thread goes "political" like that one did. Good luck and keep yer head down.
Just my 2 cents.
Jim

Between one and two years back these got zeroed out of the budget. Whether rising prices truly means they're building new ones ... kinda doubt that. So... what's the black tank capacity? Not! Of course these are probably all 12 volt.
I'd say it looks like a pretty comfortable way to travel in the spartan cabin of a military transport making a corkscrew descent into Baghdad.
Anyone see the newscast today of VP Biden's trip to Iraq. The Fox newscast showed an Airstream strapped in the bay of a cargo airplane (possibly C-17) while the VP was participating in an interview with reporters who were sitting in the troop seats along the side of the airplane and facing the Airstream.
I believe the Airstream might be a way make executive accomodations in a combat zone. The VP can have nice quarters on the way over, and once there, have his quarters rolled off and parked wherever needed.
Cheney used it during the Bush Administration.....

Wow. As I was writing sending the message below these two threads must have been merged. All of a sudden the thread I was following was gone. Very strange.
