AF alone has multiple C-32s [757} (3-6 depending on who's counting) like this with even Nancy having access as a E-W shuttle. They are mission assigned and not to specific people. Just don't get caught using the VC-25s without permission. AF-1 callsign even if he's using a Gulfstream (11) or a Lear.

The aviation version of "incognito."

At 2 miles from the runway on a standard 3:1 glide path the aircraft should be 600 feet above the touch down elevation. from this angle and depth of field the airplane looks much lower.

Robert Jarwin, you can listen on LiveATC.net or their app. They don't have every airport but certainly most of the major ones.

Funny story, Gary. As good as the shot. Yes, the Marines fly "decoy" helicopters. Not sure that's the real reason though, or if it's just about reliability. If the president's helicopter has to make an emergency landing, the second chopper can whisk him away. It is much more likely that a helicopter with the president on board would develop mechanical problems than that it would be attacked.

I was at SFO a number of years ago and took a picture of AF1 landing. Well a United 747 was sitting on the ramp waiting for clearance to the runway to leave. I took the picture and in the picture was the United 747 and AF1. Some authority said my picture was photo shopped and that plane wasn't there. These are the same people that believe if it's on the internet it's true. Get a clue we were there. Still irated years later. Patrick

Leander, On September 18th the President had an airport rally in Bemidji Minnesota. He flew there in the 757 and landed at the Bemidji airport. The runway at Bemidji is unable to handle the larger 747 so he flew out in the smaller 757. He has also flown the smaller 757 to other small airports in other states. I was surprised to see him land in the 757 but it makes sense. The runway at the location will determine which aircraft he will take. Most small airports do not have the runway length or thickness to handle a large 747.

This was definitely AF-1. The president WAS on this plane. It did land at John Wayne. On a number of these recent trips, where he's going into smaller airports they have used smaller planes, rather than the 747's, as the smaller ports cannot accommodate that large of a plane.

Any information about when and where? Can see that it's a 747-400, but not familiar with the little bit of logo that I can see on the side & tail. Registration?

Looks like they ripped off the designs if the F-16 and F-18 and then smashed it all into one aircraft.

Nice Photo! Regarding a 'decoy a/c', this I know...after 911 there was reason to believe anti-aircraft weapons were about to be used in the US. When Geo. Bush flew into John Wayne(SNA)~2005, (2)'official' 757's landed in tandem about a minute apart. Each shot a series of flares on final approach. Neither had the paint scheme of the 757 in the photo. They were dark blue with governmental insignias I could not make out.
