If POTUS was on the shuttle would it be called NASA One? :hmmm:

If they made one just for his use, yes it would, just as his personal helicopter is called Marine One.

Any aircraft (helos excluded) on which the President of the United States is aboard uses the call sign "Air Force One"

Every one knows that.

Except that that is not true.:nope:
It is even more not true since the call sign is based on what branch is operating the aircraft. There has been a Navy One, and a Coast Guard One; in addition to the Marine One and Army One already mentioned in this thread. :up:

They used to a have a few squadrons of them (C-9s) at Ramstien AB I was not assigned that particular wing but I once had to go by one or their hangers on a errand.While I was there had to use the loo inside on one of the stall doors someone had taken a knife and written "C-9s are annoying pieces of ****." Typically military restrooms are spotless and would have any graffiti removed.I found the fact that this bit had not been removed yet was in plain sight interesting.

Told you it was almost interesting trivia.

But great catch on the OPSEC callsign. :yeah:
If my info is correct that was United Airlines Flight 55 from Washington D.C. (IAD) to Los Angeles (LAX) at December 26, 1973. Aircraft was DC-10-10 but I don't know its tail number.
