Hi,

 

was hat es mit diesen weißen B-752 der U.S. Air Force auf sich? Hat jemand eine Ahnung wofür sie genutzt werden?

In der Flug Revue ist ja gerade eine große 757-Story drin. Du scheinst die C-32B zu meinen. Hier der entsprechende Absatz aus der englischen online-Ausgabe:

 

It made up for this by having a military career as a long-range transporter for VIPs: at the end of the 1990s four C-32A's designated 757-2G4 and powered by PW2040 engines were purchased by the US Air Force to replace the VC-137B/C's procured on the basis of the Boeing 707. With their elegant national paintwork, these aircraft have a range of 9,260 kilometres with auxiliary tanks. Based with the 89th Air Transport Wing in Andrews near Washington DC, they are frequently used to transport the US Vice President and members of Congress.

 

Even more exotic is the military variant C-32B, based on used commercial aircraft. There are only a few of these aircraft, painted in a neutral grey and subject to changes of registration, which are deployed on secret missions for US State Department's Foreign Emergency Support Team and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
