Cub Driver opined

but my Dad insisted they called it "AF1".
I just said OK to avoid another senseless argument between us.

I'm sure your dad was right, and that "they" -- the newscasters --
called it Air Force One.

The idea that a plane could have a different name, depending on the
passenger, is not one that is easily grasped. It's like having an
ocean liner that's called the QE II only when the queen is on board.

It must be particularly stressful when Air Force One becomes Air Force
Two.

You mean when George W. Bush is aboard?

Sorry, I couldn't help it.
