Air Force One Honoring Bush With Name Change

(Houston, TX)  --  Air Force One is getting a new name to honor former President George H.W. Bush.  A spokesman for Bush 41 tweeted that Air Force One "has arrived in Houston for what will technically be called 'Special Air Mission 41' today and Wednesday.  A beautiful day in Texas -- 'ceiling and visibility unlimited,' Mr. President."  

Only when the current President is on the plane is the aircraft called Air Force One.  The flight will carry Bush's body from Texas to Washington, DC, where he'll lie in state in the U.S. Capitol rotunda through Wednesday morning.  The "ceiling and visibility unlimited" phrase is from Bush's time in the Navy.  He had the acronym "CAVU" engraved on a plaque in his home in Kennebunkport, Maine.  Bush died Friday night at the age of 94.
