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.

OK. Start there. How do you know that is a fact?

I’ve caught snippets about AF1 and I admit I’m ignorant on air travel, call signs and stuff.

I have a question though.....well 2 actually.

Is there a new AF1 747 being built or almost completed? Are features being presently transferred to the new 747?
Could that explain the lack of use for the call sign?

Also, as part of Security, wouldn’t it be a good idea Not to properly identify AF1 on radar or from a transponder?
Perhaps make it appear like any other aircraft?

By my questions you can tell I don’t have good knowledge as you do. LOL

If anyone is able to track AF1/2 on FlightAware then someone seriously dropped the ball when it comes to OPSEC.
