Late evening VIP arrival - US Air Force Gulfstream C-37B from the 99th Airlift Squadron, Joint Base Andrews, MD. Something special about this C-37B tail number ‘18-1942’ as it represents a significant year in US Air Force history. 1942 was the year of the Doolittle Raid. There are 3 other historical tail numbers given to the C-37Bs in this squadron: #18-1947 - Year of the US Air Force Birthday #20-1941 - Year of the Founding of the Tuskegee Airmen #20-1949 - Year of the Berlin Airlift Sometimes those tail numbers are loaded with meaning.
