The President's New Helicopter

Re: The President's New Helicopter

After decades of upgrades to a fleet of notoriously cramped Sikorsky VH-3 Sea Kings, the White House has tasked Lockheed Martin with a dramatic, $6.1-billion makeover of Marine One, the presidential helicopter, starting this summer. The goal: to fit a mobile Oval Office into the tight quarters of a chopper. The new fleet will consist of 23 VH-71 aircraft, each of which will have 200 square feet of cabin space, nearly double the Sea King?s 116. http://www.livescience.com/technology/060507_marine_one.html Jesus.... :no1:

Yeah haha, it would be a steal for 6 million.Seems like a huge waste of money to me, that pretty much sums up Bush's presidency.

Re: The President's New Helicopter

Marine One is the name of the helicopter, like Air Force One is the name of the president's plane.
