Interesting day for flying in the ADIZ

It was a VC-10 (Air Force one) doing
touch and goes in the pattern! How cool.

That was cool. The closest I've ever come to that was during a flight from
Hyde to Freeway. I called up ADW (long before the ADIZ) and was cleared to
enter Bravo "direct on course". That took me right over the field and out
on the ramp was one of the VC-10s.

I didn't have a camera with me, either.

The 747 commonly known as Air Force one is a VC-25A.

Bob,
The Tower controller called it a VC-10.

Interesting!,
I wonder why the tower called it VC-10? Not doubting what you heard
Michelle, just wondering why they called it that and not by it's actual
VC-25A? The two 747-200B's have the tail number of 28000 and 29000 and their
official Air Force designation is VC-25A. Would the Vickers VC-10 be
designated as VC-10? Wonder if the tower was just trying to NOT draw much
attention to it?
