That flight was after the Independence Day holiday.
So this is an important jet.
I'm going to give you a quick breakdown of what are known SAM call signs, S-A-M, special air mission call signs, because it's going to be important as we work our way through the flight logs of this jet.
A special air mission call sign is a designation for airlift missions carrying the president, vice president, first lady, cabinet secretaries, or other VIPs designated by the White House.
When the president is on board, the radio call sign instantly becomes Air Force One.
But the telephonic ATC call sign on the flight plans and on radar scopes is filed as SAM number, number, number.
We'll talk about that in a second.
When the vice president is on board, the aircraft becomes Air Force Two.
But again, the filed call sign is normally S-A-M number, number, number.
The same SAM call sign series is used for other cabinet members, like Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, and the First Lady when they travel on jets.
And sometimes you'll see a rare call sign, very rare call sign.
It's SAM000.
Sometimes you'll see a 001 or a 002.
But when you see zeros leading the call sign, particularly 000, that call sign is highly sensitive.
It's when the White House or the U.S.
Air Force want to be deliberately vague about the exact passenger manifest.
On August 25th, 2025, this is 15, 16 days before Charlie Kirk was killed.
There was a flight on this jet from DC to Colorado Springs with that important and rarely used call sign, SAM000.
Whoever flew under this incredibly highly sensitive call sign, SAM000, on August 25, flew from Joint Base Andrews to Colorado Springs, home of the 10th Special Forces Group.
It stayed in Colorado Springs for three hours, and then it flew to Las Vegas, arriving there at 4.48 p.m.
