    Nixon in 1971 renamed Presidential plane as “The Spirit of 76.” After Nixon resigned, President Ford quickly changed it back to Air Force One:pic.twitter.com/nhiwu3cZhY

        The Nixon/Trump similarities are amazing. You’d think Trump might want to read a history book to find out what happened to Nixon and his legacy.

        yepyepyep. Nixon also admired foreign pomp & circumstance, briefly outfitted WH guards in marching-band like uniforms. Hilarity ensued.pic.twitter.com/Mr6KHlnnTg

        "Air Force One" is just a radio call sign for any USAF aircraft carrying the president. (Similarly, the WH helicopter becomes Marine One when the president is on board.) The two current 747 aircraft are officially designated SAM (Special Air Mission) 28000 and 29000.

        If the president rides on a civilian aircraft, that would then be "Executive One." I don't believe any dedicated presidential aircraft has been named since Columbine II and Columbine III, the Lockheed Constellations named by Mamie Eisenhower.

        Trump just renamed it “The Spirit of Sputnik,” for some odd reason.

        Donald Trump should NOT be permitted to repaint AF-1. It's not his plane. It's America's plane. Like he shouldn't be permitted to paint the White House GOLD. He can decorate the interiors to his horrendous, gaudy taste but NO REPAINTING . It's a symbol of AMERICA not Trump.

        Ford also changed the location of the neck wound at the last minute without telling other Warren Commission members causing WC member Hale Bogs to publicly question the Commission just before his fatal plain-crash, but Michael wants to stay on PBS so has to stay classy..

        Hopefully the next president will change the livery back on the new AF1 from the MAGA design trump chose.

        So, it’s not “repeating”, more like a parallel story arc that is just taking less time to bend?
