AIR FORCE ONE in FACT?

Yesterday afternoon around 15h00 I witnessed a 747 flying due east over the Muizenberg area in Cape Town at about 5000 feet (best guess) flanked by 3 fighters (looked like F14s or F18s - couldn't easily tell from the height). The entourage turned north and flew into the distance. Anybody got anymore info as to exactly this lot was and what it's about? I am assuming it was AIR FORCE ONE since I don't know of any other 747 flanked by fighters (definately not of SAAF origin) whilst in the air, but I could be wrong - it was quite fantastic to see, and made my day....
