- 2 main planes are used for AF1, but the callsign has to be "AF1" to mean Biden is on.
- A SAM flight is a Special Air Mission meaning a high level official is on the plane
- AF1 alternates between 2 different flights reg number: 82-8000 or 92-9000, but they may be flying a test flight if they aren't putting up the AF1 callsign
- VENUS indicates a training mission
- Neither Kamala or Joe Biden have stepped food on AF1 or AF2 according to our tracking Happy flying!
333 military aircraft in the air over the US and climbing. Another busy day.
I think this is the busiest I have seen yet.
Agree - I'm seeing 404 over the continental U.S. This is the busiest I've seen.
