Then you clearly never watched the bombshell documentary Air Force One starring Harrison Ford. ;)
Speaking of, how come some talented individual hasn't put Trump's face over Harrison's and Biden's face over Gary Oldman's in that "Get off my plane!" scene?
You deserve more upvotes. I’m also surprised that this hasn’t happened yet, and it’s constantly on my mind. I guess it must’ve been a really obscure movie.
TRUE BUT WRONG. It is the presidents plane. It is used most frequently as AF1. It might have a permanent designation as AF1. HOWEVER, any plane the president is on is ALWAYS designated AF1. Period.
If the president is on a c-130, it is AF1.
AF2 is the backup, thought to be the VP's plane. HOWEVER, if AF1 is under maintenance, the president can use AF2 AND IT BECOMES AF1.
Well thats not the point is it? Maybe this is AF1 technically because hes flying on it... he still hasn't flown on the plane thst Trump flew on, whivh is a much better plane. If not that one, why not something even smaller to go to MD?
Not saying there's no explanation but it's something i will file under super weird.
Exactly right. The helicopter the President is riding at the time is Marine 1. When Bush Jr did the Aircraft Carrier Mission Accomplished ride alone it was the first one there was a Navy 1.
If the President flys on a canvas winged STOL bush plane its call sign is Air Force One.shit i am Australian and i know that.

Exactly, AirForce One is not really a plane. It's any flying vehicle at POTUS is on. Unless it is Marine One.

Pretty straight forward. No argument needed.
I believe the Coast Guard do have the protocol in place that if he was flying with them it would be Coast guard 1 as a C/S.
Not any vehicle. Any air force vehicle. A civil plane is called executive one. A navy plane is called navy one.

Keyword is if the "President" Flys. Its not af1 because he is not potus.
