Pelosi wasn't taking Air Force 1 anywhere. Air Force 1 is not an aircraft, it's a callsign for when the President is onboard an Air Force plane. He could be in the back seat of an F-15 and THAT plane's callsign becomes Air Force 1.
He can be riding in an Army blackhawk helicopter and THAT helicopter's callsign becomes Army 1.
If he's in a Navy aircraft, it's Navy 1.
Now to see if you guys follow along... What do you call the Coast Guard helicopter that the President is riding in?
Now, take a guess at what you would call the Marine aircraft that the Vice President is riding in?
