	Too bad, they could havegotten the interior model just from pics of the VC-137 at the Reagan Library. Could have gotten those pics for them.....

	But the acronym would be the same, no? Though I just checked the B-52 manual, and it's not in there... maybe I saw it somewhere else.

	Yep. It isn't there. But at least you made me go looking for it! Mark

	i did a bit of googling on EWSM instead of EWMS and found this: Electronic Warfare Support Measures [Later, ESM] (AABC) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_warfare_support_measures so... in a way when you fly the presidential A/C, you have some defense against all those cowboys who are playing with the weapons for FSX

	Guys, remember that we have to vote for a E warfare station on the plane when the Weapons get multiplayer ready. Imagine flying some support for your Fighter fellows there.

	That would be pretty cool. I wonder when the first upgrade for weapon will come out... It's always interesting to see where these discussions end up...

	The "pods" some of you noticed on the VC-137 and E-3 near the the back of the wings and above the engines are small but very intense lasers that confuse and throw-off the infared guidance of hand-held missiles such as the old SA-7 shoulder fired missles that every former Soviet Union country and by now most terrorist have in their inventory. The difference between the "pointed-ones" on the VC-137 and the "flat" pods on the E-3 is that the aero-dynamic cover is removed on the E-3 who flys outside of U.S. more often and rarely have the covers installed.

	The real question for me is: Did they update the VC textures for the VC-137? Using the normal beat-up cockpit textures would be like renting a limo and finding folding chairs in the back. The real VC-137 flight deck is spit-and polished beautifully. Even in service, they are that way. I've flown enough AF1 support, I would know. --Dan

	I doubt it, but maybe...
