FAA Air Traffic Control will use the AF1/AF2 call sign when talking to the pilot if POTUS/VPOTUS on board, no matter what aircraft type. From the ATC Handbook...

"When in radio communications with “Air Force One” or “Air Force Two,” state only the call sign “Air Force One/Two” regardless of the type aircraft."

Flight trackers will not have the AF1 designation but just the aircraft registration ex, 82-8000

After "Big Bird Goes to China " was a big hit, NASA planned for him to go on the Challenger flight as "Big Bird Goes to Space" to spool up some publicity. Didn't work out (he was literally too big). So it ended up as "Teacher Goes to Space".

It was only a 78 mile flight direct from Andrews to Wilmington DE to drop him off and then fly back. They'll have to go get him when he's ready to return to DC (4 flights). He could have taken a secured car on the Amtrak Acela or even Marine One. Global warming/climate change hypocrite.
