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.
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.
