an airplane is called airfroce one when it is carring the president most people think airfore one is a certain plane that is a 747

but the name for that aircraft is VC-25 but airforce one is the callsign for anyaircraft that carries the president

its called airforce one because well

look its like the flight number if your flying American airlines

the airtrafic contrtolers will call the aircraft American what ever flight number it is

so if its flight 532 then they will say American flight 532

so they are just giving this airforce as the airline and one for flight number get it

Any aircraft the President is flying on is number "One", giving it priority over all other aircraft under air traffic control. If he is on an Air Force plane, it is called "Air Force One", when he is on the Marine helicopter, it becomes "Marine One" and so on.
