The two VC-25A presidential 747-200s — tail numbers 82-8000 (SAM 28000, hex ADFDF7) and 92-9000 (SAM 29000, hex ADFDF8) — operated by the 89th Airlift Wing at Joint Base Andrews (KADW). Callsign becomes 'Air Force One' whenever the sitting President is aboard; otherwise the aircraft fly as SAM 28000/29000.
ADS-B visibility is unreliable on POTUS movements: the aircraft regularly disable ADS-B Out for security, ride MLAT-only coverage, or appear under generic SAM callsigns. Expect coverage gaps and missing trails — that's a feature of the security profile, not a worker bug.
