It's operated by Ten Airlines from Romania. I've been jump seating to/from Chisianau for the last few weeks with them. Good crews and Olympic level drinkers in the hotel!

recently a USAF dc9 equivilent was auctioned off as a former air force one (clinton flew on it once)> nice shape.
if it is former USAIR/PSA, anyone know the registration number? perhaps ending in US or AU

Glendalegoon, 'twas N944PS/N820US.
I saw this old bird in the last days at STN and as others have said it was a dead ringer for a C-9 or VC-9 (if such existed). Photographic evidence showed this to be incorrect and it's heritage was confirmed, BUT it's because it has the partial colour scheme that mimics the VC-25's of the US President and this is what has caused it to be suspected of being ex-USAF.
