We have the first images of not only a Sikorsky VH-92 Marine One replacement helicopter in its full 'White Top' presidential airlift colors, but also of that helicopter landing on the South Lawn of the White House. Although the Marine aviators of HMX-1 who fly the President around make landing at the White House look easy, it is not, with Marine One crews having to avoid a number of obstacles and touch down on exact markers placed on the lawn during a wide range of conditions and usually while being watched by throngs of onlookers and the global media. The operation not only serves the President, their closest aides, and their family for daily travel needs, but it is also a key component of so-called Continuity Of Government contingency plans. During a crisis, Marine One helicopters would quickly make the jaunt from their forward staging point at Naval Support Facility Anacostia to the White House where they would scoop up the President and move them to safety at any of a number of pre-planned undisclosed and hardened locations. ---- In all, 23 VH-92s will replace the current fleet of 11 VH-3Ds and 8 VH-60Ns, 21 of which will fly the President around and follow him or her nearly anywhere they go across the nation and abroad (yes, a pair of 'White Tops' are airlifted everywhere the President goes even if they are not used as primary transportation) or support HMX-1's training needs. The two remaining helicopters will stay a NAS Patuxent River and will be used for ongoing developmental initiatives. The VH-92 is slated to reach initial operating capability in 2019 and fully replace the existing White Tops by 2023. * |

I would think it can fly in any weather... ....When I was training as an Army helicopter pilot, I was assigned to fly TH-55s...the early models tail rotor spun so fast that we couldn't fly in rainy weather as the tail rotor could shatter as it hit the rain drops...seriously!! * |

Trump Says He Would Have Disarmed Parkland Shooter With Bare Hands Feb 28 Today, Trump told a meeting of governors he would have stopped the Parkland school shooting had he been an officer on the scene. Indeed, he would have charged the shooter if he had no weapon: "I really believe I’d run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon." http://tinyurl.com/y8fjzxvx |

Sounds like an "Ole' helicopter pilot's tale". ;-) Were the tail rotor blades made of balsa wood? ;-) OK, seriously now, the main rotor had a rotation speed of 400 - 530 RPM in the green. What was the rotation of the tail rotor? The story is they had to widen the rotor so they could slow the rotor down thereby getting the same bite of air...no idea of the speed...got this from the instructors...used the TH-55 in primary and lost two friends who had power failure and hit a high voltage wire going down. * |
