So is that Navy-1? Can't be AF-1 and Marine 1 is usually a rotor.

10-4. The plane was marked "Navy 1" per the pictures. The whole event was great IMO!

The designation is not the airplane itself, it goes with the President. If he's in an AF plane, it's Air Force One; Marine helicopter: Marine One; Navy plane: Navy One.

Note there's more than one 747 for the president. If they fly one of them out to Boeing for some changes, it's just another airplane. But when the President is on board, that's what makes it Air Force One.
