Navy One is the call sign of any United States Navy aircraft carrying the President of the United States.[1] There has only been one such aircraft:[2] an S-3 Viking, BuNo 159387, assigned to the "Blue Wolves" of VS-35, which transported President George W. Bush to the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln off the coast of San Diego, California on May 1, 2003.[3] The pilot was Commander Skip Lussier, then VS-35's executive officer; and the flight officer was Lieutenant Ryan Phillips.[4]

That S-3 was retired from service and placed on display at the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola, Florida on July 17, 2003.[3]

A Navy aircraft carrying the Vice President is designated Navy Two. A VR-48, homeported at NAF Washington DC (Andrews AFB), carried Vice President Mondale to and from Lake Placid, NY to watch the 1980 Olympic hockey gold medal game. The aircraft was a VC-131H, Convair 580, a turbo prop version of the reciprocating engine aircraft.
