President Biden referred to the presidential helicopter Marine One as “Air Force Helicopter One” Monday — while claiming that Ronald Reagan sent the chopper to take him from Delaware to the DC-area Walter Reed military hospital when Biden had a brain aneurysm in the 1980s.
The 81-year-old’s anecdote is, like other biographical details he’s shared in public remarks, not supported by his own autobiography — or by Reagan’s daily presidential diary.
“President Reagan was nice enough to send Air Force Helicopter One to take me down, but it couldn’t fly,” Biden told firefighters during a day-trip to Philadelphia, using an incorrect name for the aircraft.

Cute ... but does Joe have coherent thoughts to begin with?
Next up: Ronnie loved Joe so much that Ronnie jumped and took the would-be assassin’s bullet to save Joe.
I thought Lloyd Bridges did a great job portraying Biden.
January 21, 2021, he has \always\ flown in “empty callsign”
I read this before, but I’m not sure exactly what it means. Is it in jest because he’s an empty suit? Or does it mean something else in air/military jargon?
That’s funny!
Mister Chuck Barris, please pick up the white courtesy phone, and bring your gong.
It means exactly that.
The FAA ATC system identifies ALL aircraft with a call sign, in communications. Usually, begins with ‘N’ for domestic aircraft. There are others, SAMxxx and AFx (AF1/AF2), and so on. bidEn as POTUS has flown places, but if you follow the aircraft on various ATC trackers, you will NEVER see him on ‘AF1’. It is always “N/A” or “empty” or perhaps some other variations.
I for one am so SICK AND TIRED OF THIS DAMNED LIAR!!!
Joe being Joe is no excuse for being a Perpetual LIAR.
Joe makes sh!t up, Joe sh!ts his pants and NO ONE holds him accountable. This is not a F*cking Joke. The Demented Pervert can start WWIII as a result of one of his LIES.
The new symbol for the Democrat party should be a Soiled Diaper!! We already know Democrats are Jackasses, now the Diaper can just symbolize what part of the Jackass they COVER!!!!
Too much Coffee?
A short explanation:
All callsigns are assigned by base Military Air Command (AirCOMM)
In this case, the AirCOMM at Joint Base Andrews has yet to assign AF1 to any of Biden flights that fly over US soil.
“US soil” is key, as AirCOMM has no control once outside the 12-mile limit.
Military Protocol is that AF1 carries the Commander-in-Chief accompanied by the Nuclear Codes (football).
AF1 is then assigned fighter escorts, tanker planes and the over-watch of an E6 “Doomsday” plane, in case AF1 is ‘eliminated’.
Search for the nuclear codes in the wreckage is commanded from the E6.
Many things can be understood but the sore-thumb interpretation is that the Military AirCOMM does not consider Biden Commander-in-Chief and that “The Football” is not travelling with him.
Reagan sent the helicopter, but it couldn’t fly.
Then he didn’t send it.
I believe he had two, or at least two brain surgeries. (And those after the brain scans found nothing.)
This is also made more the curious by noting that Kamal has ALWAYS flown in AF2.
But, she is not Constitutionally in line for Commander-in-Chief.
I am always reminded of Al Haig’s comment when Reagan was shot, “We are now in control.”
Where was Al Haig? [AF1]
What “equipment” would he have been accompanying? [Football]
Constitutionally and according to Law, he was correct.
If POTUS is unable to execute the office, the Joint Chiefs take on C-in-C duties.
If it couldn’t fly, how did he send it down?
I have friends here...
Too bad he did not send one of those Osprey’s in development at the time.
Perhaps ‘fairy tale’ or ‘sea story’.
You do know the difference, right?...
At this point, what difference does it make?
“Air Force Helicopter One”
