I saw a photo of the VP arriving at an air station and the airman/NCO was saluting and she was returning his salute. AR 600-25 talks about honors for the President as CinC but not the VP. I tried to think back if I had ever seen or heard of this before. Nothing.

I'm not aware of any requirement for military members to salute the VP. POTUS, as CinC of the Armed Forces, but no mention of the VP I don't believe.
Personally, I'd rather we got out the whole "saluting civilians" arena altogether.

That sounds about right. The POTUS is a special case of Civilian. He does not have to return the salute (many do, as a show of respect to the Armed Forces). There are no other Civilians in the entire Federal Government who merit a military salute.
We salute each other; it is a privilege that I personally cherish. I will NEVER tire of giving or receiving a salute whenever and wherever appropriate.
Prisoners are denied the privilege of the salute. That makes what Col Hogan does on "Hogan's Heroes" so much more hilarious.

Lt Col Timothy Cassidy-Curtis I know this is a convo from 3 years ago, but I’m just now seeing all of these shots of SM saluting the VP when boarding air craft. Has this always been a thing, or just new under this administration?
