But did the aircraft's pilot use the call sign "AF1" while Biden was on that plane (ref: ADSB Exchange)? My bet is the call sign had a "SAM" (Special Air Mission prefix) - NOT "AF1" (because the real President was not sitting on that plane).
is this legit? Nantucket airport isn't very big...maybe 5,000 ft runway. wouldn't think this size aircraft could land and/or take off from here but perhaps

No idea. Hopefully one of the plane guys pop in with an answer
I've seen the AF1 call sign used a lot lately.

It's not the normal 747. It's a smaller 707
The MA state police posted it so I'd have to say it's real.
