President Trump is currently on a 12 day, 5 country trip to Asia with stops scheduled in Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Amazingly enough, the President’s entire motorcade of specially-equipped vehicles is along for the journey including “The Beast”. The Beast is the name of the heavily armed limo that the Secret Services uses to transport the president. The entire fleet was transported inside a C-17 Globemaster and the photos below were shared by the Secret Service.

As a former technician on the C-17 Globemaster III, I can tell you this is how they always fly. Prior to early 2000’s when the C-17 came online, they flew via the C-141, but often required 2-3 aircraft.
Maybe the plane can swing by Saudi Arabia and drop Trump at The Ritz-Carlton.
Those pictures are from the inside of a C-5. The C-17 has sidewall seating and diagonal floor grips. Great shots though! Looks like the C-5 bros are getting some work done.
