It could follow the tradition of flights with other Distinguished Visitors flying out of Andrews on the presidential fleet, and go by the name of SAM and the tail number of the plane. SAM stands for Special Air Mission. When the presidential 747s are flying without the president aboard, they are called SAM 28000 or SAM 29000 (depending on their tail number). Neither becomes Air Force One until the president gets on board.
