Can we track AF1 on Flight Aware?

-- Nope, absolutely not.

Do they squawk 7700?

Heavens No! 7700 is the emergency code.

What Ident or aircraft ID do they use? SAM28000?

Contrary to popular belief, 'Air Force 1' is not an aircraft; it's a callsign. When the president is onboard, the callsign is 'Air Force 1'. 'SAM 28000' or whatever tail number or regular callsign is used when the president is not onboard.

By the way, the correct designation is: 'A1'; AF1 would be Air France 1.
