I keep hearing that "Air Force One" will be carrying Pres. Reagan's
casket between California and Washington, D.C., but it won't really
be using that callsign, will it? Won't it just be "Air Force 28000"
(or 29000)?

If anyone hears it on Wednesday or Friday, please post a followup to
this query. I'm not in its flight path so won't be able to listen for
it myself.

It may use the designation SAM 28000 (Special Air Mission).

It may be possible to hear the flight on VHF and/or UHF ATC frequencies.
I'll be listening on 11175 USB myself.

ABC News is reporting that President Reagan's body will be flown on Air
Force One (though I doubt that callsign will be used, it is always a
possibility) to Washington today via the Pt. Mugu Naval Air Station which
is near Oxnard, CA.

It was reported ealier that the aircraft will be tail #28000.
