I know ex-Presidents of the USA are still referred to as 'President' (presumably a courtesy term), so would a plane carrying a deceased ex-president still be referred to as 'Air Force One'?

I remember a few early anime series in the 70s and 80s that were anglicized under the name Force Five (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_Five). They were separate series based on the Shogun Warrior toys (or maybe the other way around). I only saw them as movies (on the proto-cable outlet, WHT) which abridged the series: Starvengers, Grandizer, Gaking, Dangard Ace and Spaceketeers. All were giant robot anime, except for the last one. Anyone know when I could find the complete series or original movies, preferably on DVD. [more inside]
