It could be a Secret Service special agent. A tailored conservative suit is appropriate for them in most situations.

Seems unlikely. Jacket's closed, and no earpiece.

Really? I've never seen any pictures of military 89th Airlift Wing (the Wing that operates and maintains the Special Air Mission aircraft) outside of the standard uniforms. As Skimmer noted, there are a lot of civilian crew on the presidential aircraft.

Nothing is special about the uniforms, they just aren't in flight suits when flying like the crew of a random cargo plane would be.
