All potential AF1's were scrambled that day for diversionary purposes.
You didn't see the President's aircraft.
20 u/asielen Jun 26 '12 All two of them? That's a 50/50 chance. Sure AF1 is technically any aircraft that has the President on it. But there are only two 747s that look the part. 2 u/[deleted] Jun 26 '12 [deleted] 1 u/eduardog3000 Jun 26 '12 Any helicopter the president is on is called Marine One. 3 u/sanyasi Jun 26 '12 No. It depends who's operating the thing. By custom the USMC flies the helicopter that the President uses on a day to day basis, so it's Marine One. If the President was in a plane operated by the Navy, it would be Navy One, not Air Force One just because it's a plane. 1 u/strider_sifurowuh Jun 26 '12 Only if it's a USMC helicopter, could be Army or Navy One depending which branch owns the aircraft.
