No idea if anyone is on board today. I live north of the beltway and don't see much KAFB traffic. I jumped online to see if I could track it. The consensus seems to be: maybe. Flightaware as a policy does not track military aircraft. Flightradar24 is Swedish and you can see military aircraft but the identity reads "blocked". There are some others that may have various policies (planefinder.net, etc). Based on other reports in the airline nerd forums apparently AF1 may or may not have it's transponder on depending on location, situation, etc. All in all pretty cool stuff.
I too would get a buzz if I saw AF1 flying over my house.
