Kind of waste of jet fuel and resources when a helo could done the mission more efficiently.

It's the Government and they have never tried to save any money.
Agree. To my reckoning, this administration flies more VC-25/C-32 flights than previous administrations. Just the flts from ADW to ILG could pay to house all the homeless vets around the country.

Found this in a document somewhere recently:

VR-704 : Bollen Range / Kiowa MOA

Aircraft scheduled to operate in R-5802 will proceed from L1 to N and call 'Balky' on 233.450 (Primary)/239.150 (Secondary) or VHF
140.275 (Primary), 134.100 (Secondary), 139.850 (Tertiary) prior to entering R-5802 for clearance onto range.

What does a C32 flight look like between these very close airports? Can't think got too high and wasn't in the air for too long.

Well, the big VC-25 92-9000 that's about to land at PHL from Andrews never rose much above 10K on that flight. I didn't closely follow the C-32 altitude from Dover to KILG since I was mostly trying to be sure I was in the right place to see it, but I would certainly imagine no higher for such a short hop. You could try a replay of yesterday's flights on ADS-B if you really want to know ;)

Edit - ooooops, I missed the detail analysis provided by RaleighGuy upstream - there's your answer~ :)

Yep, right now using callsign SAM 29 with Potomac (124.55). At1139 cleared to PHL, QSY'ed to 123.875.
Ron I don't have a listing for 123.875 except Boston Ctr..You have something else for that?
Post from Terry last year had AF-1 with Philly radar 133.875 so maybe that was it.

The only freq I've heard is 233.45. Maybe Rich up in PA can provide further feedback.
