Is this Biden boarding Air Force Two? Why are they calling it Air Force ONE?

AF1 is not an airframe, it's whatever plane POTUS is on. If he was in a Piper Cub, it would be AF1.
Right, so this isn't AF1 in the scenario that Biden is not legitimately POTUS. Hypothetically speaking, of course ;)
yep. Also there are a few planes in the "Presidential Fleet" lets call it. Mostly 757's, a few 737's and of course the iconic 747. There are also smaller Gulfstream V's with the same livery as well , you see them often as SAM flights.
I have been using adsbexchange for a while now and I have never once seen "Air Force 1" or "AF1" when the President is known to be aboard. The callsign is usually just the tail number. However, I have seen "AF2" used.
In general, the 747 is used when he needs to fly a longer distance or needs the extra capacity for staff/people.
