The jet parked at Hilo would either fly to the President or he would be flown to it and then - and only then would it be called Air Force One...
"the E-4B which is an airborne command post. It is also a blue and white 747 that has United States of America on the side but it has a different paint scheme and a large dorsal radome. It shadows the President wherever he goes but doesn't usually land at the same place. "
