Is B.O aboard I wonder? ;apparently the aircraft isn`t refered to as Air Force One unless El Presidenti is on board.
 
Last time it was at BFS I forgot about the support aircraft and missed the B.757 and C-17 DOH!!!  :(

Hi I beleieve he was OB and it was using Airforce 1 callsign. Loads of support aircraft E4B C32a and C-20C. Reach C17 alsoa round same time may well have been part of the 2team".
 
This is a useful site on USAF aircraft and their roles.
