With deck markings we could easily put the Sea King wheels exactly on a mark far smaller than the wheel 'discs' shown, day or night, without any conning from the back. I suspect there will be discrete sight lines somewhere to assist Marine One drivers, but bear in mind they have to line up regardless of wind direction or windspeed so hats off to their skill level
By the way, you may be confused when you refer to the S-92? The VIP S-92 isn’t yet in service, Marines still operate Sikorsky Sea Kings. When the S-92 finally steps up it will be a nosewheel machine
