A plane that is carrying the President, regardless of whether it be the Presidential plane, a military plane, or a Cub Piper, becomes Air Force One. What Call Sign is used as the fly Former President Bush home?|||Some of this is true, some of it is not. I'm an air traffic controller, so allow me to shed a little light on this, if I may.
Since G.W. took off after Obama was sworn in, he was no longer President, as some have noted. As this is the case, the tail number of the Boeing (since he still flew in the actual plane that is normally Air Force One) is 28000. Hence, SAM 28000, or Special Air Mission 28000. We, as controllers, would refer to it as SAM 28000.
If, say, he was still President, since it is flown by an Air Force general, it would be called Air Force One. If it were a Coast Guard plane, it would be called Coast Guard One, and the same with Marines and Navy. It's respective of which branch he flies with. If he was flying a civilian plane, it would be called Executive One. The same is true of the Vice President, except replacing One with Two. Also, if the President's or Vice President's family is on board, we automatically designate the plane Foxtrot One or Two, providing the President or Vice President are not on board with them.
Long winded, but I hope this clarifies.|||Well the Air Force One is a aircraft that carries the president. But when the former president is flown home, the aircraft that is used is called "Executive One". I remember hearing that on the news, while I was watching the Inauguration. I remember the news corespondent stating that "the Former President Bush is now boarding the Executive Marine (the helicopter), it is no longer called Marine One as it is carrying the Former President now". So using that I think that the Air Force 1 would be called Executive 1. Hope it helps.|||Any plane that carries the president will start with the military branch the one (air force-1=A2, marine-1 VM1) any time it is the vice president it is the same but 2 (air force 2), ANY VIP on board an A/C will be executive one no matter what the branch carrying it and the same with VIP and presidential families executive one foxtrot. The former commander and chief Mr. Bush Flew executive one back and it may have been a Special Air Mission but that was not the call sign|||The aircraft is called by it's original Call sign, because as you said, any aircraft that takes the president onboard becomes the "Airforce-1"
So if it is taking anyone else, it should be called by it麓s original Call Sign|||It uses its "normal" call sign. In the case of the presidential planes, they have regular Air Force numbers which they use when NOT carrying the president.
Wonder if wikipedia has those numbers.....
Yep, sure enough - "28000" and "29000"|||I believe the call sign SAM (special air mission) could also be used. I believe when Nixon resigned he was aboard a plane when Ford was sworn in so it took off as Air Force One hen became and landed as SAM27000. (I think I learned that at one time)|||The plane will use the aircraft number as a call sign such 2800 Heavy instead of Air Force 1 as that is strictly reserved for the active president of the United States. Retirees don't rate.|||It would be what it normally would be called the plane only uses the call sign Air Force One when the president of the US in on board|||Special Air Mission 28000, according to press releases.|||"Executive One"
The most recognizable call sign of this type is Air Force One, used when any Air Force aircraft is transporting the U.S. President. Similarly, when the President is flown in a U.S. Marine Corps helicopter, the call sign is Marine One.
A current president transported in a Civilian aircraft (ie piper cub" would NOT use Airforce One but rather "Executive One" - Callsign for civilian presidential aircraft.
According to CNN former president George W Bush will be leaving the ceremonies aboard "Executive One" today.|||operation 28000

How can I fund raise $3000 dollars in two months to purchase plane tickets for a missions trip to Asia?
My husband and I are interested in going to Asia for a missions trip and we need about $2000-$3000 to pay for our plane tickets. We have to do our own fundraising to make this happen.|||http://urlkiss.com/1l is a great way to make extra money. The site will ask you to complete surveys and offers and those companies will then pay you. Unlike most work at home jobs this is one is really legit and actually sends real checks to you at the end of the month. I have already made over $2500+ from this website and keep it mind that everything is free.I will love to answer any questions that you might have regarding this just contact me:

Put together a letter with a picture of the two of you. (If you've done other mission work, a picture of the two of you in action would be good.)

Ask people to donate to this cause instead of giving holiday, anniversary, or birthday gifts.
If you belong to a church with a national office, see whether they fund missions. They probably won't foot the entire bill, but even $50 helps, and you can say you are going with their support.

How deep is the River Hudson where the plane went in?
Perhaps our American friends would take pity on a curious Brit. I have followed the story of the plane crash with interest, and much admiration of the pilot. I can't find any information on the internet or in our many newspapers here as to how deep the Hudson is at the area the plane went in. Anybody either know how deep, or else where I can find out?|||The River Hudson's depth at the point in question is actually between 30 and 50 feet deep. The river bottom is very muddy and murky and no actual measurement was taken due both to this and the fact that it was not an important factor relative to getting all the passengers away safely. Due to the river currents the bottom is not conveniently cut out to present a flat image. It is very rutted and dips irregularly; because the plane has a lengthy fuselage and broad wingspan a definitive depth of the water becomes difficult because there is not a sole point of measurement.|||My question is , are they going to make a movie about the Hudson Flight 1549, The Miracle on the Hudson, I heard that Tom Cruise was going to play the Captain.
I thought some fitting websites for the movie would be either www.hudson1549.com or www.thehudsonflight.com
|||I think fairly deep, that is the area a lot of the cruise ships dock. Also not too far from the 911 site. Go on the Internet and type in Hudson River, New York City. I am also a Brit, now living in Canada. Hope this helps.|||Why is it important to know how deep the river is? I would like to know how many fish were squashed when the plane hit the water......|||Exactly 54 feet. This doesn't count the mud and sediment lining the riverbed, of course.|||Umm probably 20 meters deep?|||Not sure Steffi` Do you know any Germans? i am sure i saw some sun loungers` when they showed it on tv x

How far can I travel with a personal plane?
I am thinking about buying a personal plane and traveling to Africa (from the US) with it. Is it possible? Is it possible to do it with a boat?

What is the difference between economy class or business class on a plane?
I am trying to pay for my own ticket and I want to know the better deal and their conditions of seating on the plane.|||Business costs twice as much (3 times as much when traveling international). It's a complete rip off. If you are an average size person that fits in the seats of coach (economy) then there is absolutely no reason to pay twice as much for a little more room.
A is always the window seat then B is middle and C is aisle.
D is the other aisle E middle and F window. Try to get a window so you can lean against it.|||Kim M obviously has no idea what she's taking about.
You're paying for much more than the extra space. For starters, the seats recline to form a full bed. There is a self-serve snack bar during the flight. Meals are served on proper cutlery, with complimentary alcohol and a full three course meal. Entertainment is on a large personal LCD screen with free choice of movies. There is a dedicated cabin crew exclusive to business class. Prior to take-offyou have access to the lounge at the airport, including massage chairs, buffet food, free Internet access etc etc. I could go on all day.
If you can afford, go business for sure!|||The difference is the money you pay for the seat. Eat a great meal in a restaurant before you leave and take two Dramamine with a scotch on the rocks at the bar before you board. You won't care where you are sitting but when you land you will have a whole lot of money left to spend on yourself.|||Business seat has more room, you get the meals before economy, sometimes better entertainment

Frequently Asked Questions:
Why is the International Society of Women Airline Pilots
called ISA+21,and not ISWAP?
In 1978 when ISA was founded, the original name was the International Social Affiliation of Women Airline Pilots. The founders wanted an acronym that some how symbolized their group and was also used in the aviation community. They chose to use ISA, also an acronym for International Standard Atmosphere, and the appendage of +21, acknowledging the original 21 members. (Used in aviation, ISA+21 would mean that the atmosphere was 21 degrees above standard.)
Over the years, the emphasis of the organization slowly melded into a professional as well as social organization and the members chose to stress that and changed "social" to "society".
When was the first woman airline pilot hired?
The first woman airline pilot was Helen Richey hired by Central Airlines, a United States airline, in 1934. She resigned 10 months later when the all-male pilots' union refused to accept her. Out of piloting work and nearly penniless, she committed suicide January 7, 1947. For more information about female airline pilots and who may be first in other aviation venues, ISA has gathered information worldwide, and has maintained a FIRSTS database.
How many women airline pilots are there? In the US? Other countries?
This number is constantly changing and thankfully growing. Current estimates are approximate: 4000 women airline pilots worldwide, the majority in the United States. There are about 80,000 airline pilots worldwide.
How many of those women are Captains?
What with growing airlines, downsizing airlines, upstarts, and bankruptcies, we can only speculate that the number is around 450 women airline captains worldwide.|||Planes don't have rear view/makeup mirrors so are generally unsuitable for women to fly. The rest is all done by auto pilot now so the only other problem would be parallel parking.|||i would probally feel safer|||How rude!!|||Why not? If she has a piloting license I'm fine. Why shouldn't we be worried that a guy pilot might just start thinking about football or something and forget to fly the plane?|||And you think that men don't think of how they look (models) what their muscles look like.......what makes you think men are better than women?? Besides, if she really really REALLY cared only about her looks and nothing else, why would she persue a career in flying a plane? Chances are, she's not going to be that worried about her looks...|||Well, I'll telle you the real thruth.
The one who says "This is your captain speaking..." is not the pilot. The pilot is that beautiful girl who crawls in the corridor and offers you a lemonade: is it worlwide known, infact, that women can do several things at the same time, while men don't!!!|||I trust the company that finds competent crews.

And men would probably be more likely to do something like that.
you're being stereotypical.
most women knws the line between her career and her vanity, and especially of a pilot.
plus they can just take her makeup accessories away if it was so bad...|||yeah...but a car is different story...jk|||All pilots must go through the same training and pass the same tests both written and professional. their lives are also relying on their skills in the air. They can't just slack off or they die too.|||omg thats the most sexest thing i have ever heard
i would feel more comfortable with a woman polit than a man poilt because women are more mature and more sencible to men.. ur a jack a*ss|||thats a stupid question|||Depends.... i wouldn't trust anyone if it was someone i don't no properly. They wouldn't let someone become a pilot if they cared about there looks during the flight.|||Yes I would. After all, most commercial flights are on auto pilot once in the air. The pilots are really only there for take off, landing, or if something is going wrong once in the air. So the question shouldn't be whether you feel safe with a man or a woman flying but whether you feeler safer with a human or a machine flying.|||Men are better pilots. Hello????? They excel as pilots. If women were so great at it, there would be more. And there are not.
This is to the female that calls herself "Hey There" - You mentioned Amelia Earhart as an example of a female pilot.
BAD EXAMPLE...HAHA. At least for this question it is. Amelia Earhart was the female pilot who ((((((((((GOT LOST AND DISAPPEARED)))))))))) OVER THE PACIFIC OCEAN IN (1937) ATTEMPTING A TRIP AROUND THE WORLD!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I REST MY CASE!!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!!|||I would feel fine...|||I have flown many times with a female pilot and have no problems or concerns. Now if that female pilot did not actually have any flying experience other than sitting next to her husband who was a pilot of 8 years, I would be concerned.|||OMG I am a female pilot jerk I got my pilots license at a young age so Ya id feel safe if I were flying the plane I have 2 planes fyi my god sometimes
Women can fly sexist!|||No, you are just stereotyping... They do just fine, Statistics show they can multi-task better than men.|||. I might very well feel safer. You really do not have a clue about women. Have you ever talked to them rather than just read magazines.|||fine if she was qualified|||Yes, I'd feel safe as long as she wasn't over tired or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. You know??? Just like you hear that those men pilots have done in the past... =)|||to be in the situation of flying a plane, a women pilot has to go through the same courses and training as a male pilot, and considering that most college/university graduates are in fact women, they obviously don't think about how they look all the time and forget to do things so that isn't even a question you should be asking, kind of sexist if you ask me. I would have no problem with a woman flying a plane i was on.|||She'll be fine...sure I would feel safe|||a lot of airlines already have woman captains
they are highly trained and they also have be cleared
by the FAA as well
I wouldn't worry
here are some facts as well
i got this from

Frequently Asked Questions:
Why is the International Society of Women Airline Pilots
called ISA+21,and not ISWAP?
In 1978 when ISA was founded, the original name was the International Social Affiliation of Women Airline Pilots. The founders wanted an acronym that some how symbolized their group and was also used in the aviation community. They chose to use ISA, also an acronym for International Standard Atmosphere, and the appendage of +21, acknowledging the original 21 members. (Used in aviation, ISA+21 would mean that the atmosphere was 21 degrees above standard.)
Over the years, the emphasis of the organization slowly melded into a professional as well as social organization and the members chose to stress that and changed "social" to "society".
When was the first woman airline pilot hired?
The first woman airline pilot was Helen Richey hired by Central Airlines, a United States airline, in 1934. She resigned 10 months later when the all-male pilots' union refused to accept her. Out of piloting work and nearly penniless, she committed suicide January 7, 1947. For more information about female airline pilots and who may be first in other aviation venues, ISA has gathered information worldwide, and has maintained a FIRSTS database.
How many women airline pilots are there? In the US? Other countries?
This number is constantly changing and thankfully growing. Current estimates are approximate: 4000 women airline pilots worldwide, the majority in the United States. There are about 80,000 airline pilots worldwide.
How many of those women are Captains?
What with growing airlines, downsizing airlines, upstarts, and bankruptcies, we can only speculate that the number is around 450 women airline captains worldwide.|||Planes don't have rear view/makeup mirrors so are generally unsuitable for women to fly. The rest is all done by auto pilot now so the only other problem would be parallel parking.|||i would probally feel safer|||How rude!!|||Why not? If she has a piloting license I'm fine. Why shouldn't we be worried that a guy pilot might just start thinking about football or something and forget to fly the plane?|||And you think that men don't think of how they look (models) what their muscles look like.......what makes you think men are better than women?? Besides, if she really really REALLY cared only about her looks and nothing else, why would she persue a career in flying a plane? Chances are, she's not going to be that worried about her looks...|||Well, I'll telle you the real thruth.
The one who says "This is your captain speaking..." is not the pilot. The pilot is that beautiful girl who crawls in the corridor and offers you a lemonade: is it worlwide known, infact, that women can do several things at the same time, while men don't!!!|||I trust the company that finds competent crews. I trust them to find the right person for the job. What has that to do with gender?
I'm sure there are plenty airheads that DON'T get that job.|||yes... a friend of mine is a capt of a 747 that flys to london from sanfrancisco...she has done it for ten years and no problems....she is also the one on the intercom and tells the passengers of interesting points ....something hardly anyone does anymore!!|||I wouldnt have a problem with it if they went to flight school obviosily they want to fly...... a girl that wants to fly isnt gunna be worried about her hair or sumthing|||Yes i would feel safe, because their are hundred's of people on a plane so why would there lives be risked by a dodge pilot. i would feel unsafe if their was a monkey under the wheel thou|||It's a very misogynist remark, asshole.
