I got that acars message today. It was an acars link test. It said is was with the Air Mobility Command. The plane type was a Boeing C-40B. Can anyone tell me what this aircraft is used for? Is it VIP transport? I'm at work and can't really research this yet.

Here is the link to the picture of the plane that came with the acars message. http://www.nepaaircomms.com/images/38998-FS.jpg

General VIP with the 76th AS. I believe it did have the civil reg of 371BJ at one time. I'm not sure if it was actually owned by somebody, or if that was the reg they used while testing it. But I don't think there's anything test related about it now.

Read up at those two links and it should give you a good idea.
