sure, when it's other than the 747, but "THE" AF-1 has more than 2 engines
(not getting into the semantic argument that AF-1 is whatever USAF aircraft
el presidente just happens to be aboard, no matter how many engines it has)


That's exactly the semantic argument you're getting into :-)) A few
years ago I taxied past Air Force 1 on a ramp in Idaho. On that day,
it was a Grumman G-something twin engine bizjet, painted with the
exact same scheme found on the 747. One is not more AF-1 than the
other.
