George W's Viking
 

Just wondering what the callsign would have been for Dubya's visit to the carrier the other day in the S-3 Viking.
Would it be Navy 1, for example (in keeping with the standard Air Force 1 and Marine 1)

"Navy One" was used, according to news reports.

FAA Order 7110.65N "Air Traffic Control"

2-4-20 Aircraft Identification...

"...7. Presidential aircraft and Presidential family aircraft:

EXAMPLE-

"Army One."
"Marine One."

(b) When the President is aboard a civil aircraft, state the words "Executive One."

(c) When a member of the President's family is aboard any aircraft, if the U.S. Secret Service or the White House Staff determines it is necessary, state the words "Executive One Foxtrot." "

Kind of missing the certain je ne sais quoi of "Kittyhawk" or "Unicorn", isn't it?
