They all think they're a law unto themselves!
With Air Force One, in US airspace, they kind of are. However, they fly the published arrival and departure routes like everybody else.

But, they can request, which is always granted, a direct to anywhere, anytime they desire and bypass the published routes. In US airspace.

As for what goes on in Air Force One, stays in Air force One.

One of our PFEs was a flight engineer on the 747s with the 89th and made many flights when the 747 he was assigned to operated as Air Force One. So he was the source of my knowledge of Air Force One.
