Nice! I saw a different Air Force One, also in the incorrect aircraft at EGLL yesterday. That is Air Force 2, are you aware? Not intending to be rude.

The callsigns âAir Force Oneâ and âAir Force Twoâ arenât assigned to specific aircraft; theyâre used to indicate when the President or Vice President is onboard.
The President sometimes flies on a 757 variant, so using âAir Force Oneâ in that context is correct.

Yea like in the movie where someone hijacked a 747 Air Force One and the president managed to fight off all the baddies by himself before jumping out and holding onto a cable from a C-130 escorting behind, as his 747 crashed below. Then they pulled him from the sky onto the C-130 and thatâs when the pilot announced: âLiberty 24 is changing callsign! Liberty 24 is now Air Force One!â and everybody holding their breath in Washington HQ cheered like its new yearâs. Corny by todayâs standards but one of cinemaâs great history, but yeah wherever the presidentâs at, be it a rubber ducky floating balloon, that thing will be called Air Force One.
Oh Edit: And then itâs the C-130âs turn now being escorted by F-15 Eagles. Quite a cool escort scene lolđ like Pallavâs pic above!

Actually he was just in Farmingdale for the Ryder Cup, of course being New York GA International Airport they couldnât safely operate the 747 through there.

Are you talking about that Harrison Ford film called âAir Force Oneâ? Thatâs a good film and great reference.

Yep, Harrison Ford vs Gary Oldman, love the ending scene where Air Force One is a C-130 being escorted by F-15s riding into the sunset! That camera work is actually recreate-able in Infinite Flight and thatâd be so cool!
