Anyone hearing it? Any suggested freqs? I can remember a bunch of
frequencies known as "Mystic" that were used for AF1, AF2, and SAM flights.

It's 28000, which is pronounced two-eight-thousand. AF1 doesn't use
shortwave as much as they used to, especially since the 747's came into
service. Much of their communications goes through satellites now. It
used to be fun listening to the HF phone patches from AF1. I once heard
Henry Kissinger talking to a woman who happened to live in my area. She
was the mother of a presidential staff member who was on the plane. He
got Kissinger to call his mother and wish her a happy birthday. She was
delighted.
