Air Force Two is the name for the plane the Vice President is flying on. Really they're just air traffic control signals.

So, if by some crazy chance the President decided to hop on Southwest Airlines flight then that wouldn't be known as say Southwest Flight 225, but instead it would be Air Force One

I think

True. When Nixon resigned, the plane that carried him to San Clemente, California took off as Air Force One but became SAM 27000 somewhere over Missouri when Ford took the oath. Way off the football topic, but I couldn't resist. (SAM = Special Air Mission - I think)

So I suppose the reverse happened when Lyndon Johnson took the oath on a plane

Also, when Bush flew the fighter jet onto the carrier early during the war, it was Air Force One at the time. Just whatever the President is currently flying in. Hehe, just watch the movie Air Force one and you'll learn some of that stuff too.

So, when he steps out of the jet, and onto the carrier, does that then become "Navy One"
