If the president is on a fixed-wing airplane, it is normally Air Force One. If he's on a helicopter, it is Marine One. When President Bush flew to an aircraft carrier to give a speech, the plane he flew on was named Navy One because it was a Navy-owned aircraft.

What is the name of airplane when the vice president is on an airplane?

Airforce two. In aviation any aircraft that the president boards instantly assumes the call-sign Air Force or Marine or Navy or Coast Guard or Army One depending on which branch of the military owns the aircraft he is on. When George Bush landed on the aircraft carrier and declared "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq, the plane he was on carried the designation "Navy One" because it was a Navy jet he was riding in. This carries over to the vice-president as well where the call-sign becomes "Air Force or Marine or Navy or Coast Guard or Army Two. This is done to eliminate any confusion with air traffic control as to the importance of the flight, Airforce one and two are automatically given priority over all other flights except in cases of emergency and usually all air traffic is temporarily restricted in any area where airforce one or two are operating.


Can the first lady travel in airforce one without the president there?

The answer to your question is No. There is no actual physical aircraft that is Air Force One. Air Force One is the official air traffic control call sign of any aircraft whenever the current president of The United States of America is physically aboard that aircraft. The two most common aircraft referred to as Air Force One are Boeing VC-25s, highly modified versions of the 747-200B, with tail numbers 28000 and 29000. Both aircraft travel together with the president, one serving as a decoy for obvious reasons.
