And what do they call the plane on the radio, just "Airforce One"?
Airforce Zero for security reasons? What?

Airforce One is the callsign used when the President is aboard (that is
what its called on the radio "Airforce One Cleared To Land").

Unless the VP is the primary passenger, when it's called
Airforce Undisclosed.

If the president is not aboard the aircraft callsign changes to SAM28000
or SAM29000 depending on which of the two 747's they're using that day.

Really not much secret when it comes to AF1 Comms on the ATC freqs, they
have to do just like any other plane in the ATC system....
