The day has arrived! Donald Trump has been sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, and many of us are breathing huge sighs of relief. There were all the ceremonial traditions and a few new and different ones. Trump is the first president to hold a rally-style parade.

Our first president George Washington traveled from Mount Vernon, Virginia, to New York for his inauguration, employing a coach, horseback, and a barge to get him there. Our 47th president's entrance to Washington, D.C. was much simpler, with a flight on "Special Air Mission 47" which reverted back to Air Force One upon his swearing-in.

In 1793, the oath of office for Washington's second term was administered by William Cushing, an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court and the first in a long line of Supreme Court Justices to preside over Presidential Inaugurations.


Special Air Mission 47 is the callsign. The callsign Air Force 1 is used only when a sitting president is aboard. https://t.co/QNwahWz3dC
