Like TAFKAS said above, Air Force Two is used for the aircraft the Vice President is a passenger of.

No, there is not AF 2. No military or civilian flight is designated AF2. If the VP is on board it is either a SAM (special air mission) or takes the original tale number of that particular aircraft.

Really?

Then what's this all about?

Vice President Cheney

And this?

10.29.2004 - Air Force Two behind him, Al Gore eyes the stratosphere

"I flew on Air Force Two for eight years," he (Gore) said, feigning a pained expression, "and now I have to take off my shoes to get on an airplane."

Or is it that AF2 is just "slang" really?
