U.S. Air Force places order for C-40C

The U.S. Air Force has agreed to purchase a C-40C aircraft from Boeing.  The contract is valued at $89.6 million.  Based on the Next Generation 737 platform, the C-40C is primarily used to transport Congressional delegations, but is also used for transport of domestic and foreign government dignitaries.  Congress just better not use this new plane for "business" trips to Las Vegas or Tahiti.
