What specifically do you question?

Many things. I've run into many "experts" like him. He talks a good game...other times he tries to cloak what he's says with hip, tacticool sounding words.

Recently, I saw a video where he was featuring B-52s and he was full of crap with what he was saying. He was off on the mission. Off on the hardware. Off on capabilities.

What is his real expertise? When was he in the military? For how long? Doing what?

And, his AF1/AF2 understanding is off.

Please explain then what you believe he says wrong about AF1/AF2.... I’m very curious.

Facts, independent of Monkey:

The FAA Call Sign of AF1 has NOT been utilized since the morning of 1/20, when Trump flew from Andrews to FL. The aircraft that typically transport POTUS have flown since then, but ALWAYS have had FAA call signs of NA.

The FAA call sign of AF2 *HAS* been used since 1/20. Indeed, there was an instance a few weeks ago where there were *TWO* aircraft up in the air at the same time, both designated as “AF2”.

Now, when I say AF1/AF2, I refer to the FAA designator that appears in FlightAware and ADS-B exchange, which would be used between ATC and the aircraft pilots.

The MSM has referred to the Resident flying “Air Force 1”, but that is another matter.

One slight addition: I believe there is another FAA call sign that has been used besides NA for the presidential birds... ‘SAMnnn”, where nnn is a number (I forget specifically what digits). But, more often, its been NA.
