'Air Force One'' is of course, a callsign for when the POTUS is onboard any U.S. Air Force aircraft. Not a specific aircraft type, as it is often incorrectly applied exclusively to the VC-25.
I suppose it would been too much to ask for them to have shown a picture of a VC-25 747. The 757 is rarely (if ever) used as Air Force One...
