Being Confused for Air Force One? REALLY???!!!!

[alcahuete]

Now you've got me curious ? I can say for sure that in the last 10 years I've never heard a USAF transport (C-5, C-17, C-130, etc.) use "Air Force" in their callsign. Plus I can't recall ever seeing any transports identified by Axxxxx on ADSB-X. Can you give me more context on where you are hearing this and seeing Axxxxx ?

We see them in Southern California on a somewhat regular basis, but then again, there is also a ton of military stuff that goes on out here. We see Army (R) use the numbers a lot more frequently, but definitely see it out of the Air Force as well.

Just because the media posts certain things does not mean that every body else should. Remember that the media shares a lot of things it should not based on the so called (freedom of the press). I am not playing political here, but look at how much the media can twist things around like the last 4 years for instance. I just don't agree with a lot of military stuff being broadcast carelessly so the whole world knows especially our enemies !!!
