Marine One Helis
In Bloomberg Business Week, an excellent article published on March 14 by Garrett M. Graft reviews in detail plans to renew both Air Force One aircraft and new ones proposed for Marine One Helicopers. At present, the presidential helicopters include 11 Sea Kings, 8 White Hawks, and a number of Super Stallions and Sea Kings, which follow the President around the world in cargo aircraft, so he never has to depend on local transport.
After a lot of kerfluffle, apparently Sikorsky will be providing the new ships, the S92. The current Marine One type has been in use since 1974.
The article in Bloomberg, though long and detailed, is very amusing, and well worth a read. I wonder if any of you Rotorheads have seen it? and what do you think of the aircraft under consideration...
