Air Force Two is the call sign used by air traffic control for any US Air Force aircraft carrying the Vice President. Normally it is a C-32 but not always.
Both AF1 and AF2 were established due to an incident in 1953 where a plane carrying President Eisenhower and a commercial flight both had the same call sign and were in the same airspace at the same time
