That is almost true. With military aircraft, any aircraft carrying the President is identified to ATC as "[branch] One" so Air Force One, Marine One, Army One, etc. If he's on a civilian aircraft, it is designated Executive One. For the Vice President, replace One with Two and use the same naming scheme. As far as the current "Air Force One" aircraft, there are actually two of them with identical outfitting. This allows one to be in maintenance while the other flies so there is never an interruption in service. -Justin Scott ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:286326 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
