Needs more sauce before Pedes can declare it was AF1 and the President is present.

I seem to have lost that particular screen shot. But if any one sees it, find the ICAO then look that up. It will start with "AE" and have 4 more digits or letters (its in hexidecimal). That will tell you exactly what type of craft that was.
I'm almost certain it was one of the TEX2 trainers. They do trips like that in convoys often. No idea how this is getting misconstrued as AF1 and "escorts"

Welp, You got me there. However, I will provide you with another website that shows a different result. Link
^Also notice the altitude and speed. A boeing 747 would not usually cross country that low and that slow.
unless it was pretending to be something else?
There have been many cases where they would alter the icao to obfuscate information. Here is at least one example.
But the fact remains flying that low and that slow is not common at all for a 747. Not for that long of a trip. Its landing speed is 150 kts. So it would be going really slow for no reason at all.
