Talking Those Crazy USAF guys.

Admiral Fargo's (COMPAC formerly known as CINCPAC) Air Force flown VC-135. This is what happens when they go speeding around the taxiways. Lucky for Admiral Fargo, he had his backup plane nearby

The 'career dissipation' light just turned on for the aircraft commander! Major overhaul time on this bird.

Actually, the designation is an EC-135. The "V" prefix, once given out liberally to identify command staff and VIP transports is rarely used; the only exception being the VC-25A. All the other 'VIP taxis' of the 89th Airlift Wing carry the lowly C- designation only.
