@saltinesnack @VPPressSec @VP The 89th aw operates a variety of mission aircraft and aircraft is matched to the mission.

@clashreport 89th AW C-37B in unmarked livery. Crew members wear civ business attire on missions. It is perfectly normal for this Airman to be saluting the Vice President. Navy and Marines please take a breath.

@MilOverstock @Mrgunsngear Almost certainly these sat in holsters for decade+ and shot for qualification. These are terrific pistols. Many large urban PDs swear by it.
