“was most definitely NOT Marine One”
What I love about FR is that knowledge base here.
You know, I am ignorant on aircraft. I just always assumed that the President flies in Marine One when in a helicopter.
You say that the two identical choppers were something else.
Please take a look at the photo at the top of the page. What is that craft?
This photo was from the practice landing day that occurred two days before the landing. I know because the motorcade is not lined up in the photo. But, I am sure it was the same (one of two) chopper the Prez was in.
I was referring to the photo at the top of the page. I misunderstood your post. I was thinking you were saying that it was Marine One with the Pres in it. Sorry for my confusion. If that is a photo of a practice run then I apologize. IF that help was used to carry the Pres then it was Marine One. If you look at Marine One that is based in DC, it is a larger craft with a different paint. On the road thing sometimes change
ANyway did they have lots of protection when he landed?
