All white C-32B (military 757 variant) just beginning to rotate. The only visible marking is a small American flag at the rear of the fuselage.

All white C-32B viewed from the side and slightly behind just as the mains leave the runway. Some small GA aircraft sit on the ramp in the foreground.

The mystery jet 👀 USAF C-32B departing KBAF in Massachusetts after a brief stop yesterday. This airplane has been scrubbed of any identifying markings, and did not show on any flight tracking apps when arriving or departing. This may be 00-9001, but that is just an educated guess. #c32 #usaf #kbaf
