You acknowledged that we were discussing specific planes, but did not acknowledge the use of “Air Force One” as valid for discussing a specific aircraft (as shorthand for, “the plane most commonly used for presidential flights, and therefore, most commonly assigned the call-sign ‘Air Force One’”). Maybe that’s what you intended to do, but that is not clear in your original phrasing, which, to me, seemed more like a correction than an addition.

Also, to note: I’m not trying to argue any points you’re making. I’m only trying to help clarify how you were misunderstood.
