Flying Airstream with VP
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.

Vice President's Airstream?
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.
Sounds nice to me.

Think how much it weighs when clad with armor. Might need something bigger than a ProPride or a Hensley. Have to tow it with a Peterbuilt.

Hmmm, Up-Armored Airstreams....
Might be a good money maker with a niche market. Like for folks that want to overnight in Colorado Spring's Wal Marts
