HMX-1, the Marine chopper squadron that flies Marine One presidential helicopters, will receive 14 MV-22 Ospreys to haul the president’s gear starting in 2013
As part of Corps' FY-2011 aviation campaign plan in support of the operational needs of the warfighter,
HMX-1 is having to give up its CH-53Es and transition to CH-46Es for two years prior to the MV-22s arriving.
Surreal.
