Recorded in October 2003, Air Force One checks in with Melbourne Centre over Southern New South Wales en-route to Canberra, Australia.
Also on frequency are two Royal Australian Air Force F/A 18 Hornets (callsign “Cobra”) which were dispatched to intercept and escort AF1 from a location near the town of Wagga Wagga.
Have a listen to this recording. Do you think the communications with Air Force 1 is or should be the same as communicating with a commercial aircraft?
