And I did not help much; I could have more accurately stated it was a C-32B, 
as the four Eglin-based versions are often IDd.  The six C-32As of the 89AW 
may not be hush-hush, but there are a lot of us who have been trying to separate 
myth from fact about the mysterious C-32Bs which USAF disavowed before one 
got some publicity via a hard landing a couple of years ago.  USAF will just say 
they are test-bed acft; some think they have international nuclear monitoring 
missions.
