I'm an A&P student here at Texas State Technical College and our
campus is the old James Connally Air Force Base (Waco, TX.). When Bush
goes to & from Crawford, Air Force One lands & parks here as Waco
Regional's runways are too short for a 747. He then takes Air Force 2
(big helicopter) out to or from his ranch, flanked by several other
mean looking choppers as well as identical decoys, I assume.


First, if it has the president, it becomes Air Force One, whether it's
a fixed wing, rotorcraft, blimp, or balloon...unless it's under the
Marines, in which case it's Marine One, or the Navy, making it Navy
One, etc.

Air Force Two would be the VP's aircraft.
