I saw this photo (http://www.flickr.com/photos/whitehouse/5716644972/in/photostream) on the White House's Flickr, with the following caption:
First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden, seated far left, meet with staff aboard Bright Star during a flight from New River Marine Corps Air Station in North Carolina to Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, April 13, 2011. The trip was to launch Joining Forces, a national initiative to support and honor America's service members and their families. (Official White House Photo by Chuck Kennedy)
I've never heard of "Bright Star" before; is it some sort of special aircraft like the E-4B Nigh****ch ships? Or is it the usual callsign for FLOTUS's plane? (Though, to my understanding, that would be "Air Force One Foxtrot.") The safety card visible in that shot says it's a C-40C, which I believe FLOTUS (and occasionally VPOTUS) generally uses.
Anyone know for sure?
