So, would it therefore be called "Homey One"?

No - "Homely One".

Actually, it was 1915, when the Revenue Cutter Service and the Lifesaving
Service were merged to form the Coast Guard.

I suppose you also maintain that the United States didn't have an air
force before September 1947?

Sheez. Put him in the kill file!

Why does everyone feel the need to point this out?


Because not everyone understands it.

I suppose you maintain that the USAF was established in 1907.

If it were an Air Force aircraft, at least.


Air Force One is always an Air Force aircraft.

Yes, that was the whole point, you see....

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)

not urban legend, it's true (but "more than _2_", not _4_)


No, it's not true. At times Air Force One is a twin.

sorry, coast guard was an arm of the treasury (customs) and responsible for
interdicting smuggling and attending lighthouses and other duties

The Coast Guard also maintains that they were present as an armed force
in the pre-revolutionary times before the Army and the Navy.


Hmmm.... I don't see how, the USCG wasn't formed until sometime in the
1920s, I believe.

well, technically, it was the USAAC followed by USAAF until 1947 (a rose by
another name...)

I don't know where you're going with this. As far as the plane with
the US president goes, I don't have a problem with him getting special
treatment, due to security considerations.

enjoy the next 5 days. He is in Africa. So no presidential TFR. :-)

The DC one is still here.

Apparently you weren't following the thread very closely.
