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?

“ANyway did they have lots of protection when he landed?”

I am pretty sure that it was the same chopper that come on Friday that landed for the practice two days before. I was at the same location and had the same view as the photo.

Since your post, I am wondering if Marine One stays in DC and that each AFB near where the presidents travels has some other secure helicopter for transport.

It doesn’t look big enough, so I think that you are right. It wasn’t M1.

In terms of security, the campus was an armed based it seemed like. See other posts on the original thread. The security was amazing.
