Re: Andrews VIP aircraft

Hi Ron,

I'm sure it's a typo, 02-0375 should be 92-0375, and that machine has moved on to the 86th AW/76th AS USAFE Ramstein AB.

Tony

Below is my updated info on Andrews VIP aircraft that I have compiled over the years.

VENUS 35 02-0375 C-20H JS-CP 89TH AW/99TH AS

Was told that 0402 was xferred to the 79th at Ramstein.

More likely it's true... Since the end of 2010 he's flying under callsign VALOR37 instead of previous SAM

99-0402 is indeed a Ramstein machine.

Inbound Evac flights on Feb 7

Lastnight about 1830 hours I was passed by 3 Walter Reed ambulance buses on west bound Rt 198 near Burtonsville, MD. I usually see these coming off the Beltway heading south to Walter Reed with returning soldiers after an evac flight has arrived at Andrews. Could an evac flight have arrived at BWI?
Thanks.
