Condoleeza Rice (Spelt Right?) is visiting LPL on 30th March in Air Force 2, do you know what aircraft that is?

She usually flies on USAF Boeing 757.

Just a normal looking 757 in USAF Colours from memory.
Not gonna be anything much bigger if it has to land at LPL.
Saw it in MEL the other day and it is the same colour scheme as the Presidential 747. Looked immaculate..

There are 4 of these VIP 757s (C-32s in USAF lingo). Seen them a few times, including coming into Belfast...while they usually act as AF2 they also carry Dubya on occasion...
Have to say, absolutely beautiful aircraft...some details below...

As Condoleeza Rice is not the Vice-President then it won't have the callsign "Air Force 2".

Groundloop is correct, AF1 is only AF1 when King George is on board and AF2 is only AF2 when Cheney is on board.
