I believe XXXX One is the call sign of the aircraft carrying the Presidentm and not the technical name of a particular aircraft (though there are designated aircraft that are intended for transporting the President exclusively). There USAF has or had two planes intended for use as Air Force One, at the same time. Marines have several Helo's. It's the cargo that makes it "One". So it's Army One, Marine Corps One, Air Force One, Navy One. Maybe Coast Gaurd One, maybe only in wartime. Marine Corp and Airforce are generally the ones who transport.



VP is XXX Two.
