Air Force for one: Massive military transport plane that usually carries 100 troops picks up US Secretary of State John Kerry to bring him home after he breaks his leg cycling
A US military C-17 transport aircraft that usually carries at least 100 troops flew to Geneva Airport to pick up Secretary of State John Kerry and fly him to Boston where he'll be treated for a broken leg.
The Air Force plane touched down in Switzerland on Monday after taking off from a US base in Ramstein, Germany, and then heading to Massachusetts after collecting the 71-year-old politician.
Kerry tweeted out 'big thanks' to his well-wishers and said he looked forward to getting his leg set and getting back to work at the State Department.
The C-17 was carrying 'additional military medical personnel in keeping with standard practice', according to Kerry spokesman John Kirby, the Washington Post reported.

Hmm, what happened to his official VIP aircraft?
Now that he's withdrawn from the Iran talks, will the leg be blamed for the coming failure?
