Ricki Bobbi Posted November 7, 2006 Report Posted November 7, 2006 Which President flew in a Sea King? Did it fall apart mid-sky? It certainly would save the time for an election. Does this "lock-down" mean I can't point out how really unfunny your attempt at humour was?

Black Dog Posted November 9, 2006 Report Posted November 9, 2006 Which President flew in a Sea King? Did it fall apart mid-sky? Bush does. Marine One is the call sign used when the President is on board one of the HMX-1 Marine helicopters. The primary presidential helicopter is the Sikorsky VH-3D (Sea King). Quote

Yes, that is the D variant, built in the nineties. We are flying the original Sea King purchased in the mid sixties. Unsurprisingly, the former is considerably more reliable than the latter.

Canadian Blue Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 As well to add on to what Argus said their are a variety of different variants of military equipment which nation's use. Canada has had the same Sea King for 40 years, and luckily we are replacing them with newer helicopters. Quote "Keep your government hands off my medicare!" - GOP activist
