AF1 - crewing question...

All,

Does anyone know the crewing of AF1? Presumably it's USAF pilots in command - but how would their experience of the B747 compare to, for example, a regular BA Captain?

Is AF1 a more technically difficult beast to fly what with it's various modifications, save for the obvious security issues of driving the US Pres around?

Would a regular BA / VS / a.n.other 74 skipper be able to do the job as well as the USAF guys, presuming he / she were correctly vetted?

Soz if it's a dumb question, I'm sure rainboe will rant me out of the forum if it is
