Boeing C-32 er det amerikanske militærs designation på det civile fly Boeing 757. Flyet bliver brugt af United States Air Force (USAF) som VIP-flyvemaskine til at flyve civile ledere rundt i verden.
De primære brugere af C-32-flyene er USA's vicepræsident, der benytter kaldesignalet "Air Force Two" når han flyver, USA's førstedame og udenrigsministeren. I sjældne tilfælde har andre amerikanske ministre og ledere af kongressen fået lov at benytte flyet til forskellige opgaver. Præsidenterne Barack Obama, George W. Bush og Bill Clinton har også benyttet denne flytype som Air Force One frem for den større VC-25, eksempelvis hvis destinationen er for lille til at tage imod det større fly.
I alt har USAF seks 757-200 fly designeret som C-32A, der har til opgave at transportere medlemmer af den amerikanske regering. C-32A-typen er udstyret med et kommunikationscenter, konferencelokale, passagerkabine og et privat område til flyets VIP. USAF har desuden to C-32B. der også er Boeing 757-200. Disse står som udgangspunkt til rådighed for føderale og udenrigsministeriets kriseudrykningshold. C-32Aer er malet i de kendte blå og hvide farver til profilerede VIP-flyvninger mens C-32B er malet hvide med få identifikationsmærker. De første C-32'ere blev leveret i 1998 og erstattede det tidligere VIP-fly designeret C-137 (Boeing 707).

United States Air Force C-32A (military variant of Boeing 757-2G4). This aircraft is used for VIP transport and was transporting Vice President Joe Biden to New York City for an appearance on the ABC program "The View." The aircraft was on short final for LaGuardia Airport's Runway 22 when photographed from Hermon A. MacNeil Park in College Point, Queens, New York.
The Flag of the United States Navy, as defined in Executive Order 10812 of April 24, 1959. The design is described there as:
The flag for the United States Navy is 4 feet 4 inches hoist by 5 feet 6 inches fly, of dark blue material, with yellow fringe, 2½ inches wide. In the center of the flag is a device 3 feet and 1 inch overall consisting of the inner pictorial portion of the seal of the Department of the Navy (with the exception that a continuation of the sea has been substituted for the land area), in its proper colors within a circular yellow rope edging, all 2 feet 6 inches in diameter above a yellow scroll inscribed "UNITED STATES NAVY" in dark blue letters.
The U.S. Navy flag is used for display purposes at ceremonies, parades, and other public functions where the U.S. Navy has an official presence, usually being carried by an honor guard on ceremonial occasions. It is not used for outdoor, fixed (permanent) purposes, and is not flown on Navy ships. Versions without fringe and different dimensions seem to be common, though it appears they are not technically the official U.S. Navy flag, as the executive order has not been amended.
Prior to 1959, the Navy Infantry Battalion flag was used to represent the U.S. Navy.
