[MilCom] "Air Force One" callsign

[Larry Van Horn]

Hey Master John and all,

John will will find an official DoD listing and explanation of the more
general DOD static calls in use at
https://164.214.2.62/dafif/dafif_0405_ed6/plan/gp.pdf  Check Chapter 9,
9-1 Codes for aircraft identification. You will find that Air Force 1
applies only to USAF aircraft, etc. The above is a very useful reference
for the Milcom enthusiast.

73 all and good hunting,

I'm well aware the callsign "Air Force One" is used for any fixed-wing
aircraft transporting the POTUS.  When President Bush landed on the
carrier last year, did the Navy guy get to use "Air Force One".  He
must've gotten a kick out of that.  :-)
