Clinton will be riding in one of the Suburbans instead of a limousine as he visits Kearney today. Once the convoy took off for Kearney, Stuart allowed the public to come aboard and tour the Globemaster. It's a dream to fly. It's all fly by wire. The plane can fly at 3,000 feet and can refuel in the air.
Passengers ride in fold-out seats along the outside walls of the plane's interior.
Huge chains were scattered about the floor where the vehicles had been stored. Stuart said it's the second-largest plane the Air Force uses. It not only transports cargo but also is used for personnel missions in which squadrons leap from the plane. It's pretty high tech with lots of electronics. Stuart said the C-17 will remain at the airport on the tarmac overnight.
