Navy One
Navy One is the radio call sign assigned to every aircraft in the United States Navy once the President of the United States is on board.
The first opportunity for Navy One was on May 1, 2003, when George W. Bush transferred to the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) in a Lockheed S-3 Viking , where he made his Mission-Accomplished speech held in which he announced the end of the Iraq war . This particular machine is now in the National Museum of Naval Aviation on Naval Air Station Pensacola in Pensacola , Florida .
A Navy aircraft that the Vice President is in is called Navy Two .
