2008 Swanking Idea Thread

Not to be pedantic, or anything.... But any Air Force plane or helicopter the President is aboard is Air Force One, but only while he is on board. Any Marine plane or helicopter he is aboard is Marine One. Any Navy plane or helicopter he is aboard is Navy One. Etc, etc.

During the "Mission Accomplished" stunt, the Lockheed S-3 Viking Bush was piloting was Navy One while he was in it.

The official designation of the plane at the Reagan Library is SAM 27000.

The two 747s that are currently used are SAM 28000 and SAM 29000, and that is how they are referred to when the President is not on board.
