Thanks for that closer look at the paint on Biden’s plane.
One other thing I noticed about the Biden video, see 0:06 to 0:18 here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gcQrFsUFzQ&t=2s
Note the “Marine” on the left as Biden approaches and ascends the stairs. Notice anything? Compare with the “Marine” on the right. Look at the salutes. The one on the left doesn’t appear to be saluting, he looks like he’s pointing to his temple with his index finger.

I kind of think neither one knows how to salute.
I think their costumes may not fit them very well. I think the one that appeared to be pointing to their head may be female - which was not what I assume at first.
I don't know the uniforms at all but the one on the right seems to be too big for him and tailored in at the waist and flared out at the bottom, like a woman's jacket.
The one on the right's costume jacket looks too long for him, and the armhole of the sleeves seems to be drooping, sleeves a little too long.
They don't 'read' like actual military.
Even the one that stands behind Xiden (to catch him) when he climbs the stairs kind of 'dithers' like Colonel Klink in the od television Hogan's Heroes (or is that a form of mincing?).
This is at 14 seconds:
And at 17 seconds:
They are wearing Air Force uniforms, but kinda ill-fitting ones at that.
The one on the right is an E-7 Master Sergeant or First Sergeant (one “rocker” on top). The other looks to be a E-8 Senior Master Sergeant or First Sergeant (two “rockers” on top).
I can’t make out what their chest badges are, although at first I thought that the E-8 had a Air Force Fire Protection or Security Forces badge on his left side, with a Presidential Service Badge on his right (maybe).

Not sure what chest badge the E-7 is wearing. It’s the wrong shape for the Missleman badge.
For senior enlisted, their uniforms and salutes look like crap. If they are assigned to the Presidential Airlift Group (PAG) of the 89th Airlift Wing (the Air Force One crew), you would think that they would have more military bearing than shown.
Air Force not Marines.
