A few nights ago I was watching a program on the History channel about Air Force One. In the program they mentioned they they use C-17's as support aircraft. Does anyone know where these C-17's come from (what base)? And are they any repaints for these planes? I would like to replace the C-5 with the current C-17.

I've been told that the C-5 usually accompanies the AF1 because it seems to be the only aircraft able to carry the Marine One helicopter, something the C-17 cannot afford.
I think the C-17s come from McGuire, while the C-5 comes from Westover.
There is a nice thing you can do to add a C-17: make it fly along with the C-5!
Just copy the C-5 flightplan (you will have two plans equal to each other) and change the number of the aircraft. If it's not clear (and I know it isn't, because I'm not very good at explying), here is an example

Flightplans.txt
AC#1,123456,(C-5 plans)

Copy and paste: you will have
AC#1,123456,(C-5 plans)
AC#1,123456,(C-5 plans)

Change one of the flightplans
AC#1,123456,(C-5 plans)
AC#2,123456,(C-5 plans) ---> AC#2 is the C-17 you will add in the Aircraft.txt file. This way, you will have a C-17 and a C-5 departing and arriving together at their destinations.

Thanks. They (the TV program I watched) didn't mention the C-5 so I thought the C-17 replaced the C-5.

It would be ever so cool if someone actually released an af1 package like that.

SJCarline,

We did release a AF1 package about 18 months ago. Its on the download page.

You will have to add your own C-17.
