In the Air With the Secretary
How does Secretary Clinton travel to all the countries she visits? Who goes with her? What does she do en route to her various stops?
Time is valuable when you are the Secretary of State. The Secretary's airplane functions as a mobile office. Members of the press travel on the Secretary's plane, and at times, foreign dignitaries travel on the Secretary's plane also.
The Secretary's plane is a reconfigured U.S. Air Force Boeing 757 that is outfitted with a cabin for the Secretary, seats for the staff, and security and a communications section for continuous information anywhere in the world.
Secretary Clinton was in Afghanistan to attend President Karzai’s November 19 inauguration ceremony, met with Afghanistan’s leadership, international partners and allies, US troops, staff in Provincial Reconstruction Teams, and Embassy staff. This is the Secretary's fourth trip to Afghanistan, first as Secretary of State. Travel to Europe and Asia
