So the call sign is just for any aircraft carrying potus or vpotus
Pence could be on a sightseeing helicopter and its call sign would be marine 2. Trump could fly in a little Cessna and it’s call sign would be Air Force one
Exactly there are like 5 jumbo jets with the presidential paint job only the one Trump is on is AF1. They probably have like 30 helicopters painted up like marine 1.
Ha. Maybe. I've never actually paid attention to what helicopters fly the VP around. The do travel in packs, and them circling around before landing isn't exactly unheard of.
Marine 1 picking up the new 9 day President maybe?
Could be since that is Marine 1. Unless it's Marine 2 and they look alike.

Close. Not that many.
If it was a non US Armed Forces helicopter it would be Executive One with POTUS on board or Two with VP aboard same with Cessna Executive One or Two

VP is not flown in HMX-1 aircraft generally.
