Presidential Aircraft and Call Signs
Presidential Aircraft and Call SignsPresidential Aircraft and Call SignsPresident Franklin D. Roosevelt was the first President to fly while in office, to get to a wartime conference in Casablanca in this case, he flew aboard an Army C-54 and the Dixie Clipper, a Pan American Boeing 314 under contract to the government. The first aircraft specifically assigned for Presidential transportation was a heavily modified B-24 Liberator that was re-designated as a C-87A Liberator Express (serial 41-24159) named Guess Where II. However, the President never made use of it because the Secret tafelgeschirr, after a review of the C-87s controversial safety record in service, absolutely refused to approve Guess Where II for presidential transportation - although the First Lady did make use of it to tour South and Central America in 1944. Presidential Aircraft Models There have been many aircraft that have served as Presidential transportation. While the current aircraft is commonly referred t o as Air Force One, technically* the call sign only applies when the president is actually on board. There is a second VC-25A for use of the Vice President, and its call sign is Air Force Two when the Vice President is aboard. There is a history of aircraft used as Air Force One in the VC-25A link above, but there are some Air Force aircraft that have been used that are notlage listed, such as the smallest aircraft designated as Air Force One - the Aero Commander U-4B, used by President Eisenhower for short trips. It was also the first aircraft to use the distinctive blue and white paint scheme. Other Air Force craft used for Presidential Transportation include the Beach VC-6A, North American T-39A Sabre, and Lockheed VC-140B Jetstar. The President is also transported by way of helicopters, the first one Bell UH-13J the Air Force version of the Bell 47J Helicopter. President Eisenhower was the first President to fly in a helicopter off the White House lawn. Another previously used helicopter was the UH-34 Seahorse, followed by the VH-3A Sea King. The Military and Air Force One Up until 1976, the Marine Corps and the Army shared responsibility for Presidential helicopter transportation. Marine One is Presidential Call Sign that is also generally recognized by the public. This indicates that the President is flying on a Marine Corps aircraft Marine Two is used for the Vice President. When Army helicopters were/are used, the call sign Army One was/is for the President and Army Two for the Vice President. Since 1976, the Marine Corps has sole responsibility for Presidential helicopter transportation and currently uses either a VH-3D Sea King or a VH-60N WhiteHawk. The Navy One and Navy Two call signs are used for Navy aircraft. Theres only been one use of the Navy One call sign a Lockheed S-3B Viking (BuNo 159387) used to fly President George W. Bush in 2003 to USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). The Coast Guard One callsign has not yet been used, but Coast Guard Two was used once when Vice President Joe Biden used an HH-60 Jayhawk in 2009 to view the Atlanta Area that was flooded. If it happens that the President is using a civil aircraft, the call sign for that craft would be designated Executive One, and if it is the Vice President, then it would be Executive Two. The only President actually in office to make use of regularly scheduled commercial airline flights since the establishment of Presidential Transportation was President Nixon in 1973 during the energy crisis. A notable exception to this was the use of a military helicopter in 2009, when it took aboard President George W Bush after his term in office had expired the helicopter used the Executive One call sign. On the topic of commercial air lines, if the presidents family members are aboard, but not the president himself, the flight can (if it is determined by the White House staff or Secret Service to be necessary) use the call sign Executive One Foxtrot (Foxtrot indicating fa mily). For the family of the Vice President, the call sign would be Executive Two Foxtrot. * Federal Aviation Administration Order 7110.65V (Air Traffic Control) Change 3 effective as of 2014 April 3

A Day in the Life of a Managing Partner
A Day in the Life of a Managing PartnerA Day in the Life of a Managing PartnerConsidering a career in law, or a transition within the legal profession? The following profile of a day in the life of a managing lebensgefhrte is an excerpt from theVault Career Guide to Law.Kelley Clements Keller is the owner and managing member of The Keller Law Firm, LLC, a boutique firm practicing intellectual property (IP), which includes assisting clients in IP prosecution, procurement and maintenance, licensing and enforcement, brand expansion and management, domain name and Web site matters, social media issues, and IP-related geschftsleben matters.630 a.m.I begin each day with coffee with my husband. Once I put the coffee on, I check my e-mail to see what is brewing for the day. This is my first engagement with the days material. I send out responses to the messages that require immediate response, and shoot out e-mails to the staff, letting them know about the new projects that need to be added to the queue.830 a.m.I arrive at the amtsstube already aware of the business for the day. I review my calendar and prioritize, and then I check in with my attorneys and staff- the law clerks, my paralegal, and my research assistant. The purpose of this crucial part of my morning is to ensure that everyone is on the same page, and that each person has the tools that they need to succeed in their assignments.900 a.m.I give one of my law clerks an amtsstube action refusal from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) for one of our clients trademark applications for him/zu sich to begin researching and drafting a response. Its a difficult argument to make, as it requires us to prove that our clients house mark is descriptive, as opposed to generic, in order to secure federal protection.930 a.m.I am counsel in an interesting trade secret action where the defendant did not file an answer to the federal complaint. I distributions-mix a call to a colleague to discuss the status of the ca se, since two heads are always better than one. I have come to learn that no matter how long you practice law, you never experience it all. We debate the likelihood of whether our client can recover attorneys fees under the circumstances, e.g., a request for default was entered by the Clerk of Court and a motion for default judgment is pending with the judge. Because the defendant failed to answer, the case law is a bit murky on how much our client can recover, if anything at all. Its a very interesting fact pattern1000 a.m.Ill spend the next few hours in phone conversations with clients, court personnel, offices (such as the PTO), or in outreach, marketing, and business development. When not on the phone, Im sending and responding to numerous e-mails. When I encounter particular situations that reflect important principles in IP, I like to call my staff together for a quick tutorial. Such situations represent opportunities for learning, and my role as a teacher and mentor to my sta ff is very important to me as it gives me the opportunity to demonstrate why these principles result in predictable outcomes.1030 a.m.I need to make a call to the PTO to handle a clarification of a clients identification of goods with the examining attorney assigned to their trademark application, and ask my paralegal and one of my law clerks to step into my office and listen to the call for learning purposes. This is something I often do and find that my staff is more knowledgeable of files they work on as a result of it. The examining attorney enters the requested changes into the record, and my paralegal knows that she needs to draft a reporting letter to the client regarding this activity.1100 a.m.Being the owner of the firm, I also have to manage the business in addition to practicing law. I have my usual daily meeting with my comptroller and get a financial update on our receivables and payables. In a given day, I might also spend an hour on the phone with my certified public accountant on various financial matters. If there are IT issues, I ask someone on the staff to contact our service providers to handle them. If there are any building issues, e.g., problems with heating, these also require my time and attention. Its surprising how much time can be spent on the business of law, rather than the practice of law.1200 p.m.Lunch is a time for business development, and when Im not eating with the staff (or at my desk- a no no), I spend this time meeting with colleagues to work on collaboration or marketing, or meeting with potential clients. In the afternoon, I continue with more phone calls and e-mails, research for my caseload, and drafting letters to clients, opposing counsel, or relevant agencies1245 p.m.I prepare for an initial consultation meeting and review my notes from my phone conversation with the new client. At this time, I am unaware of the potential clients product, but do know that she thinks patent protection applies. We will know more afte r the consultation.100 p.m.The potential client arrives and our meeting begins. I soon realize that trademark protection is most applicable, possibly copyright, but definitely not patent. Intellectual property is a confusing area of law to many, so initial consultations can be very educational. We discuss the product she wants to take to market, her overall branding goals, and how I can assist her in accomplishing these goals. We also discuss finances related to the representation.200 p.m.With the meeting fresh in my mind, I draft a follow-up e-mail to the potential client, confirming what was discussed as well as laying out her various legal options. I find these e-mails give clients a good picture of the strategy that we outlined and how to plan accordingly.300 p.m.I continue to work on pending matters, such as follow-up e-mails with clients, at present drafting a motion for attorneys fees in the trade secret infringement case, and reviewing/approving client correspondence that my paralegal has prepared. Its not uncommon for my mornings to be full of client phone calls, e-mails, and meetings, leaving the afternoon for knocking out substantive legal work.500 p.m.I e-mail the draft motion for attorneys fees to co-counsel for his review. Co-counsel responds and would like to set up a time to connect at the end of the week.600 p.m.I begin to wrap up my work for the day and shut down the office, taking care of issues from pressing business and legal matters to mundane tasks such as doing dishes, washing out the coffeemaker, and turning out the lights (welcome to owning your own firm). I also like to acknowledge the work completed by my staff, so I shoot off a final few e-mails before calling it a day around 700. Off to dinner with my husband, glass of Shiraz in hand
