Using AF1 Call Sign

Is there a law against using the Air Force 1 callsign during flight? For example, should I fly into an airport and report up "Air Force One, inbound," have I broken a law.

Assume I'm not actually flying Air Force One.

FCC regulation; can't locate a specific reg about misidentification, but 47 CFR 87.107 lists the station identification requirements. See http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?c=ecfr&SID=47e46b23f7468901568264ef80e9bc03&rgn=div8&view=text&node=47:5.0.1.1.2.3.95.11&idno=47

If you used AF1 and not your own ID you'd be in violation of the above reg. If you used your proper ID and AF1 I'm not sure of the reg you'd be violating, but it would be in the FCC realm and probably not the FAA.
