[edit] Boeing VC-137C

I just created this article in an attempt to have an article on both the Boeing 707's that served as Air Force One from 1962-2001 (SAM 26000 and SAM 27000). After writing a bit I wondered if it might just be easier to create two seperate articles on SAM 26000 and SAM 27000. Thus this page should be deleted as to not cause confusion and wasted space.

Then you probably want {{db-self}} or, more likely to use a redirect. FrozenPurpleCube 02:33, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. My advice would be to have just one article on two nearly identical aircraft. The call sign (role) is more important than the airframes themselves. --Dhartung | Talk 03:30, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
• A merge/redirect to C-137 Stratoliner would probably be appropriate here. The VC-137C appears to be a special variant of the C-137 Stratoliner. There's probably room within the C-137 Stratoliner article to talk about what makes the VC-137C variant unique, or what modifications they made to it for Air Force One service. Air Force One#Boeing_707s_as_Air_Force_One covers the usage of the aircraft and the events that happened on each, but there might be a little bit of room to move text between articles as appropriate. --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 04:43, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
