For what it is worth there is now a second Boeing C-32A (commonly used for the VP) flying about 45 minutes behind the replacement Air Force 1 under the SAM47 call sign. SAM stands for Special Air Mission and 47 is no doubt a reference to Trump being the 47th President.

Don't know who is on it. That it is coming out of Andrews AFB and apparently heading on a similar path as Air Force 1 with the call sign of SAM47 is what caught my attention.
