(11,155 posts)35. Wikipedia's take
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Force_One
"Air Force One is the official air traffic control call sign of a United States Air Force aircraft carrying the President of the United States.[1] In common parlance the term refers to those Air Force aircraft specifically designed, built, and used for the purpose of transporting the president. The presidential aircraft is a prominent symbol of the American presidency and its power.[2]"
Just as the helicopter flown by Marine's to Dulles is Marine One. So if he flew in a Sopwith Camel that was owned by the Air FOrce it would be Air Force One.
