Technically - AF1 being the aircraft the president is reported to be on - radio call sign "Air Force One" usually clears the pattern - grin
Could be a piper cub if the prez is out doing touch and go's.... "air force one" a much more impressive "handle" than "bullwinkle" November 44075 or "Bullwinke075" for short" - grin
Call signs kind of old school and nostalgic... one more we wont hear on air any more: from one of the blogs:
On 1st December, 2011, the official switch-over occurred after the Operating Certificates were merged, as part of the United-Continental business merger/stock swap business transaction.
From this source, the recordings of the last flight to use the "Continental" radio call sign with Air Traffic Control (at Newark Airport, in this instance) was Flight 86 "heavy", a Boeing 777-224 from Shanghai, China. (ZSPD)
