I'm going to go to the airport to watch AF1 land today at 5:40, my question is are there frequencies to monitor AF1? I monitor airports on liveatc.net and am able to receive pretty much anything that goes on at the airport but i'm not sure if that will work.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Approx 10 years ago Air Force One came to Madison WI. They used all the normal Airport freqs. that all the other traffic used on arrival. Not sure what went on behind the scenes if there was something to listen to or not. As I said that was 10 years ago obviously things could have changed.

thank you for the info.
AF1 will use the same VHF ATC freqs as any aircraft coming in to that airport would use.
thanks for the info.

Air Force One touched down at Charlotte Douglas International Airport at 5:58 p.m. after an uneventful if somewhat turbulent flight. There were no visitors to the press cabin during the 56-minute ride.

The president emerged from the plane at 6:12 p.m. and shook hands with greeters on the tarmac with the sun setting behind him. About 100 well wishers had gathered on the tarmac. The president gave them a wave but went straight to the car, not taking questions.

President Trump’s motorcade is rolling from the airport at 6:15 pm.
Also on the flight and getting off the plane with POTUS, Ronna McDaniel and David Bossie

Today’s greeters, per the White House:
The President is met by:

Senator Lindsey Graham
United States Senator from South Carolina

Representative Ted Budd
United States Representative of North Carolina’s 13th Congressional District

Representative Dan Bishop
United States Representative of North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District

MG Jim Ernst
Assistant Adjutant General, North Carolina Joint Force Headquarters, Raleigh, NC

Col Bryony Terrell
Commander, 145th Airlift Wing, North Carolina Air National Guard

SrA Cory Hughes
