    VERY COOL!!


    but in terms of el presidente himself i don't really see this as the right type to use. i don't see what's wrong with the VH-3s or VH-60s but my understanding is the secret service prefers all sorts of shiny toys. personally i'd love the see the S-92 added to the HMX-1 fleet.















    if it wasn't obvious enough.... SIKORSKY!!

    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Given the MV-22s track record, if I were El Prez, I'd pass until they were as reliable as a UH-1 lol...

    Its not for the President, its replacing the SeaStallions transporting the support gear. I wonder it we'll see one land at JRB?

    I think these would look very cool in HMX-1 greenside colors.

    It will be strange to see these new helicopters flying with the old VH-3D's. I would assume that the MV-22 with the blades facing forward would be able to go significantly faster than Marine One?
