Also, I read somewhere that Marine One changed its callsign to Executive One to transport Bush to Andrews AFB - znufrii Jan 20, 10:58 1
- like AF1, M1 is only that when POTUS is on board. I think there are several that are used -- nm - zork Jan 20, 11:02
It's *always* Special Air Mission (SAM) 2-8000 or 2-9000 (depending on which plane is flying.) - TWuG Jan 20, 10:57
No, every other time Special Air Mission 28000 or 29000 were renamed "Air Force One" when the President was on board. -- nm - Ender Jan 20, 10:54
Did you know Air Force One is only Air Force One when the POTUS is on board? -- nm - Mr. Havens Jan 20, 10:53 5
- While he is usually only on his plane. Any AF plane he is on is Air Force One. -- nm - sgtmike Jan 20, 10:55 4
  - Read my statement again and you'll see you are proving me right, not correcting me -- nm - Mr. Havens Jan 20, 10:57 3
    - Or, in other words, "Thank you for solidifying my position". :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 10:58
    - Wasn't trying to correct you as I saw you were right, just clarifying. -- nm - sgtmike Jan 20, 10:58 1
      - I could understand if I specified a certain plane (in the traditional case, a 747-200B) - Mr. Havens Jan 20, 11:02
interesting, the pilot will retire after this flight.... 30 years in the Air Force. -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 20, 10:51 1
- New commander usually takes over with the new President - sgtmike Jan 20, 10:54
