AF1 is not an airplane but a callsign - if the president flies on any USAF aircraft that airplane uses the callsign "Air Force One" - when he flies on a USMC helicopter that helicopter uses the callsign "Marine One" - and so on with the various branches of the US military. The aircraft shown in this video is an airborne command post available for use by the President or his designate. Doomsday is old "Cold War" term once used with the E-4B. Now it mostly ferrys the Secretary of Defense.
Does every one think there is only ONE- Air Force One. I personally know of two. I am a retired U.S. Navy Chief. This information was never classified.
It comes into Tulsa on a fairly regular basis for whatever reason.. It is cool to see and everyone thinks its Air Force 1,, but the real purpose of this aircraft is doomsday.....
