Okay, so. In an article about Airstream trailers, there's this tidbit.

"Mark Silva, chief of the Washington bureau of The Chicago Tribune, accompanied the vice president as the press corps’ pool print reporter. The group flew on a huge gray C-17 cargo plane that the Air Force calls the Spirit of Strom Thurmond, in honor of the late senator. Mr. Silva said that when he boarded he noted the familiar outline of the Airstream roof inside the vast fuselage."

The Vice-President rides in a plane called "The Spirit of Strom Thurmond." "The Spirit of Strom Thurmond"

What. The. Fuck?

He used that when he went over to Afghanistan. Yeah, the plane's name is really really bad though. Makes you wonder who decided to call it that.
