So would the C-17 be considered the tow vehicle

Traveling in style

The Airstream is inside the plane so the VP could travel to Iraq and be safe.....or something like that....he didn't have to be taken to a hotel. He also probably didn't have to suffer anyone's campfire smoke either.

Thanks for the picture....paula

And the mpg were ???? in a C-17? At least there were no bugs to wipe off and the roof would not leak...

This pm, a really nice setup zipping along the 401 east bound. The Volvo clearly had lots of jam.

Saw two AS at St. George Island State Park in the Florida Panhandle. Also met some super friendly Airstreamers who were staying in Carrabelle while on a caravan. If you're one of the nice couples we met, thanks for the dinner invitation, but we were lazily beached in our camp chairs last night. Happy trails and safe travels, Carol

I saw a nice looking older airstream headed west on I-80 between lincoln and omaha nebraska around mile marker 419 this morning about 11am. First one I've seen since we put ours away in storage for the winter last wkend. I had to contain my excitement as I was driving with a coworker to a mtg in omaha. When I exclaimed "Oh look, its a Airstream!" My coworker looked at me oddly not getting how rare these sightings can be.

Sighting on East bound I 10 at Redlands Ca. Pulled by pick up. At freeway speeds you see them so fast and yell out. Then we say to each other what was pulling that....? Enjoy your weekend.

There is a new 27' in the same campground.
We are at Majestic Oaks in Biloxi, MS.
We rode out to Gulf Shores National Park in Ocean Springs, MS and there was a small single axle Airstream there.
