![]() "JDupre5762" wrote in message ... During the week of President Reagan's death and funeral I heard on one radio station that President Bush allowed the 747 carrying Reagan's body to Washington DC to be designated Air Force One for that trip. Does anyone know if this is true. I wasn't able to watch or read as much about it as I wanted. This would have been the first time that Air Force One was used as a designator without the current president aboard. The person making the claim was a caller to to a talk show so I am not inclined to believe it without confirmation. John Dupre' Most likely the reporter in question had heard from someone at airliners.net that "Air Force 1" would carry president Reagan. The average person doesn't know that the designation of the aircraft is not AF1 unless the president is on board and will call it that whenever they see it. At one time I think someone said there were 2 AF1s together somewhere ![]() |
