Several other users have questioned the merit of your posts (one of these being Capt. Claret - a highly respected and long-time contributor to PPRuNe), yet they go straight over your head - and you call them fools to boot!
My original statement stands.
You can rest assured that if push comes to shove, there won't be any Wally Mk3. Before you bring this upon yourself, ask your colleagues at your RFDS base whether they would be happy with your actions bringing an IP block to prevent you (and unfortunately, your innocent colleagues) from accessing PPRuNe at work? Plus we can also ban your home IP (from which you and one or 2 of your alter-ego's post) if you wish
The choice is yours
P.S. Bentleg, the thread will remain on topic - one way or another
I won't post anything further on this subject out of respect to my work mates whom I might add rarely add to PPRUNE from work.
Unlike you TID I don't have the 'power' you have, funny how those with power always end up abusing it!

I think I got a better perspective on AF1 from watching Harrison Ford run around in it. Cabins, meeting rooms, galleys all except the .... the pod.
For such a loved leader .. why all this security? And where AF1 is stationed AF2 is nearby, fully equipped and ready to go.
Where's the love?
I remember when Dubya visited Sydney and turned streets into battle-like zones ... and we're his 'mates' ... no thanks, GWB.

That would suggest that the President AND Vice President have flown in separate aircraft to a similar location.
Air Force One is not an aircraft it is a callsign and applies to any USAF aircraft carrying the President. If both of the VC-25's go on a mission with one flying as Air Force 1 the other will use the callsign SAM 28000 or SAM 29000 depending on which aircraft is fulfilling which role.
Similarly, Air Force Two is the callsign given to any USAF Aircraft carrying the Vice President.
If aircraft from the other services are used to carry the President or VP then it will reflect the branch to which the aircraft belongs.
Navy 1
Marine 1
Army 1
Coast Guard 1

You're exactness, detail and knowledge is to be commended. Thanks for clearing that up.
My point lent more to the resources used to move this man around. Jumbo flies, so does another. I've seen the amount of equipment brought over to support the aircraft and it is enormous. The continual state of readiness of both aircraft must come at a huge cost. What the hell, money to burn (literally).
Oh yeh ... 'seperate' is mispelt.

Wikipedia is awesome.
Apparently there has never been a Coast Guard One, there has only ever been one aircraft designated Navy One which was the Viking GWB used to get out to the aircraft carrier for his infamous "Mission Accomplished" speech. The Presidents limo has been nicknamed Caddilac One and apparently if the POTUS decides to fly in a civil airliner, the airliner can choose to use the callsign Executive One. Tricky Dicky is the only prez to have done so in order to "set an example for the rest of the nation during the current energy crisis". Naturally they sent his 707 along anyway just in case

Mispelt
A common Internet term used by the uneducated or ignorant to describe a misspelt word.
The Presidents limo has been nicknamed Caddilac One
By the way, they're building a new Cadillac limo for BO, apparently his ego doesn't fit in the existing one.
