Don't they leave the White House on Marine One rather than Air Force One?

How have they found a door in the sky? Is that the door to heaven? White escalators too

Norway's Aleksander Rybak wins the Eurovision Song Contest and instantly becomes a national symbol. He's idolized throughout Europe for his talent, boyish charm and unassuming demeanor. 7 months later he's awaiting trial for the alleged rape of a 14 year old female fan.

Marine 1 is still Marine 1 without the President on board, I believe; it's only the plane which isn't.
