Good morning from rainy Lake Tahoe, where the POTUS and FLOTUS are preparing to head to Maui, Hawaii to assess the damage of the wildfires, and meet with residents, local leaders and first responders.
I will be your print pooler today.
Your pool arrived to be swept outside the community where the Biden family is vacationing around 6:30 a.m. local time.
The pool joined the presidents motorcade at 7:54 a.m. and we are rolling to Reno-Tahoe International Airport.

POTUS arrived at Reno-Tahoe International Airport at 8:43 a.m. local time.
He and the First Lady boarded AF1 at 8:44 a.m. he turned around, waved and gave a thumbs up. Hes taking the smaller plane for what is expected to be a 5+ hour flight.
Please note that because we are traveling on the smaller plane today, cell service stops upon boarding. So I will send our wheels up time when we arrive on Maui.
Deputy Press Secretary Olivia Dalton and FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell will gaggle aboard Air Force One en route to Maui.

No. The one I posted is AF1. Doesn't matter what what plane it is, but whatever airplane POTUS fly's on automatically gets the name AF1. It was the one I posted out of Reno, I listened to them talk to air traffic tower at RNO. Rarely do they every register a callsign.
Wow this board is trash today.
right ok.
lol ah nvm read the thing wrong
Air Force One is the official air traffic control designated call sign for a United States Air Force aircraft carrying the president of the United States. In common parlance, the term is used to denote U.S. Air Force aircraft modified and used to transport the president and a metonym for the primary presidential aircraft, VC-25, although it can be used to refer to any Air Force aircraft the president travels on.
