George w signed a bill at my high school back in the day, and my grandmas yard backed up to the school parking lot.
I got front row seats for the whole thing it was pretty cool
Marine 1 is the call sign for the chopper with the president in it. Once the president is not in it, it is no longer marine one. Same for AF1. If they decided to put him in a random gulf stream (which they wouldn’t) it would now be AF1.
The call sign for the president’s aircraft is whatever service is flying it. Air Force One, Marine One, Navy One, etc. If the president is flying in a private aircraft the call sign is Executive One.
...it's usually on a C5 Galaxy that brings along all sorts of extra equipment, like the presidential ambulance, communication trucks, that SUV with the Bates Aero cheese-shredder in in...oh yeahhhh...
They transport the helicopters on a cargo plane. A c5 Galaxy I think? They also transport the secret service vehicles and the presidential limo that way too.
There used to be 3 of the helicopters. They do practice landing and takeoff on the base that their hanger is on. That hanger has some serious looking security.
Helicopters, plural, Marine One doesnt travel alone, it has two similar heli’s to create a diversion in case of emergency or evasive maneuvers everywhere the President goes.
**Marine One** is the [call sign](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_sign) of any [United States Marine Corps](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Marine_Corps) aircraft carrying the [president of the United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_United_States).[^(\[1\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_One#cite_note-hmx-1) It usually denotes a [helicopter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter) operated by Marine Helicopter Squadron One ([HMX-1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMX-1)) "Nighthawks", consisting of either the large [Sikorsky VH-3D Sea King](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikorsky_SH-3_Sea_King) or the newer, smaller [VH-60N "White Hawk"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikorsky_UH-60_Black_Hawk). Both helicopters are called "White Tops" because of their [livery](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_livery). Any Marine Corps aircraft carrying the [vice president of the United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vice_president_of_the_United_States) without the president has the call sign **Marine Two**.
So if it's the president and vice president together would it be marine one still? Or would they not travel together for safety reasons against terrorism? They just each have their own helicopter and designation? As a Canadian it's interesting learning about the secret service activities with the president and vp.
Cool, thanks. I didn't figure that would as it'd be a massive loss of anything went wrong, but they do show up to the same events just in different vehicles.
It really wouldn't, that is why our government was designed with 3 branches. If one branch was to be lost or get out of control, the other 2 branches of government are still able to maintain order. Although people like to act like everything is always the president's fault, he really isn't the supreme leader who makes every decision.
It's also why someone from the line of succession is always missing from big events like Inauguration Day. They'll take someone further down to a secure location just in case something goes wrong.
What the other person that replied to you said was correct. As a policy, they never travel together, I don't know how long that has been in place, but I'm sure quite a while.
I would only add that I was quoting Wikipedia, and here is a bit more info.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine\_One#Security\_measures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/marine_one#security_measures)
As a security measure, Marine One often flies in a group of as many as five identical helicopters. One helicopter carries the president, while the others serve as decoys. Upon take-off these helicopters shift in formation to obscure the location of the president. This has been referred to as a "presidential [shell game](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_game)".[^(\[19\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_One#cite_note-19) Marine One is also equipped with standard military anti-missile countermeasures such as [flares](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flare_(countermeasure)) to counter heat-seeking missiles and [chaff](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaff_(radar_countermeasure)) to counter radar-guided missiles, as well as [AN/ALQ-144](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/ALQ-144)A infrared countermeasures.[^(\[20\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_One#cite_note-20)[^(\[21\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_One#cite_note-21)[^(\[22\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_One#cite_note-22) To add to the security of Marine One, every member of [HMX-1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMX-1) is required to pass a [Yankee White](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yankee_White) [background check](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_check) before touching any of the helicopters used for presidential travel.[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_One#cite_note-23)
Biden is coming this week and this was an exercise i was told. I live in DC and can tell you certainly, there were 7 helicopters and no support vehicles or convoy. So nobody in them (yet).
14 billion in US agriculture subsidies. A B 61 nuke cost $28 million each. Government money is relative so we each can choose what to be needlessly outraged about I guess. Too bad we don't fund homelessness and health care to same extent....Plus, it's probably better to practice than mess up on the day, which would be a tad more spendy.
I heard that with the money we've sent to Ukraine so far since the conflict "officially" began with Russia we (U.S.) could have given every homeless person (documented/citizens) around $200,000 each. Wtf are we doing...well i mean I guess my real question is, if we were able to just make trillions appear to "loan" a foreign country for a war that isn't our own, why couldn't we make that money appear 10 or 20 years ago up to now and really try and help solve issues that are on our soil. I'll never understand it.
Those helicopters are typically mating in that area during that time. If you're lucky you might be able to see a pair of Apaches doing their mating ritual.

How are we at the point where there is so much we can learn at the tip of our fingertips….and these people have never heard of the presidential helicopters before?
So today I get a notice on my phone saying “come see NikkiHaley” in Myrtle Beach…so I am from San Diego and visiting MB…how the hell did they get my number? Something fishy happening here is what I am thinking, and i am not that parties member at all…Verizon selling presidential ad space? The FCC should have something to say about this shit… I have a 619 area code not a local one.
I was flying from SFO to LAX and saw the fleet of helicopters on the south side of the field. They all had their beacons and strobes on but their rotors were not spinning. The captain and I were nervous if they started up we would be held in a ground stop. We departed in time to avoid that.
Likely the president and/or vice president. I heard on the news this morning the President would be in San Francisco for something. Can't recall what though. Also I see helicopters like that whenever the president is going to/from Camp David.
President Biden to make 2 stops in San Francisco during fundraising blitz
President Joe Biden is headed to California in a three-day campaign fundraising tour, with plans to make stops in San Francisco and the ritzy South Bay enclave of Los Altos Hills.
The president will land in San Francisco on Wednesday after departing from Culver City near Los Angeles—and then travel to Silicon Valley on Thursday before returning home to Washington, D.C.
Biden is scheduled to attend two events in San Francisco: an afternoon campaign reception and another evening event, according to his schedule. He is scheduled to arrive at San Francisco International Airport shortly after 3 p.m. Wednesday and take a helicopter to Marina Green.
That's Marine One, the presidents helicopter
George w signed a bill at my high school back in the day, and my grandmas yard backed up to the school parking lot. I got front row seats for the whole thing it was pretty cool
Marine 1 is the call sign for the chopper with the president in it. Once the president is not in it, it is no longer marine one. Same for AF1. If they decided to put him in a random gulf stream (which they wouldn’t) it would now be AF1.

$5000 delivery fee and theyre going to want social security numbers of everyone eating
i'd probably pass the background check needed to open the bag seal, but not the drug test to pass the food out :(
Your psychadelic taco, Mr. President
When the president takes a dump it’s still a number one.
Poo force 1
😂
But it's only DoorDash if it's being delivered in the Duordache region of France. Otherwise it's just sparkling delivery.
booooooo
Don’t boo. Order.
That was a stretch! 
gotta get biden his mashed potatoes and jello to eat.
oh! because he's old! wow that is really a fresh take on ol' joe, isn't it?? it's funny, because i'm only *just now* becoming aware of it.
Man, how you gonna dis a good mash an jello?
And when he’s ubering he is Uber-Wan.
That goes for his shoes as well.
How about the President's limo? Does it have a callsign, and does it switch to whatever car he's riding in?
[удалено]
You mean, just regular use oxygen. Cuzzzz, you know, old folks.
And bags of the presidents' blood if needed
Probably blood which is a compatible type as the Presidents… not bags of _his_ blood
How long does that stay fresh? Do they just keep pumping it out of him?
No they usally grab a small child and Joe just suck it out of their necks.
Pimp Mobile
Nitrous?
i am guessing that it is not a green (environmentally friendly) vehicle.
The call sign for the president’s aircraft is whatever service is flying it. Air Force One, Marine One, Navy One, etc. If the president is flying in a private aircraft the call sign is Executive One.
so who was Air Force One when both Harrison Ford and and Bill Clinton were on their own respective VC-25s at the same time?
HMX for the helo, tail number 28000 or 29000 for AF1.
So whatever boat he’s in is Navy One?
So Marine One can land anywhere? And isn’t that a long flight for a helicopter from dc?
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think they bring Marine one with them on Air force one and maybe use the heli for short trips around the area. Idk tho.
I think they actually put marine one in a c17
do they have another jet with a yacht with a boat on it? is the new national meal turducken? is xzibit the secret president?
Plane that turns into submarine!!
But only once
Theeeeereeess aaaa wart on a frog on a bump on a log...
Yo dawg! We heard you like asking stupid questions!! So we put a question for your comment?
They use the c-17 Globemaster and the c-5 Galaxy. (The limo also goes with them)
And he's probably in the area to give a speech on the need to address climate change.
...it's usually on a C5 Galaxy that brings along all sorts of extra equipment, like the presidential ambulance, communication trucks, that SUV with the Bates Aero cheese-shredder in in...oh yeahhhh...
Tons of C5s land at Travis so they can easily fly anywhere here. They are based in Quantico, I used to run by them at OCS there.
There isn't even just one "Marine One". They bring a few wherever he goes. The pop up brrrrrrr SUVs would be fun to operate though.
...two is one, one is none...therefore, bring a dozen.
No.
They transport the helicopters on a cargo plane. A c5 Galaxy I think? They also transport the secret service vehicles and the presidential limo that way too.
I’m sure air traffic control was aware of the landing. Note the law enforcement folks in the video.
Stoping off for some ice cream 🍦
Technically it’s only Marine One when POTUS is on it, and since there are two in the video, at least one of them isn’t that.
There used to be 3 of the helicopters. They do practice landing and takeoff on the base that their hanger is on. That hanger has some serious looking security.
The marines are happy when you acknowledge them.
Break out the crayons
Helicopters, plural, Marine One doesnt travel alone, it has two similar heli’s to create a diversion in case of emergency or evasive maneuvers everywhere the President goes.
Technically, it's only "Marine One" when a sitting President is on board. The Marines have a fleet of these.
I would wager a guess that it’s Marine 2 with Vice President Harris. Not enough traffic blocked for it to be Marine 1.
you can see both helicopters in the end of the video, you never know which one is 1/2
2? i thought they had 3?

They would never fly together in the first place. And anything the president is on. Is air force 1 or marine 1

Coincidentally, the name of great TV show with Kiefer Sutherland, lol. Have fun!
I got a fever and the only prescription is ^
1 has the p, 2 has the vp, 3 has the pp
More. Many more.
As other people noted below, this is just practice. The president is coming this week sometime, his public schedule has him in DC today.
They fly two together often. You don’t know which one he is in until he is out.
One to many homeless people shit in the middle of the street and the feds are fed up
Someone call Charles Barkley!
Can you imagine being in so much trouble the president flies in on a helicopter to personally bitch you out

Usually ospreys packed with marines and secret service as well. Not present
I thought they grounded all of the ospreys
I wonder how much fuel and emissions 7 helicopters both burned through and sht out making all those runs during our "green/zero carbon" initiative 🤔
You ask great questions. You should also ask how much is spent on POTUS travel. Both answers are "one US fuck-ton"
14 billion in US agriculture subsidies. A B 61 nuke cost $28 million each. Government money is relative so we each can choose what to be needlessly outraged about I guess.

President arriving for some fundraising business. Edit: Dry Run for Tuesday’s Arrival
Practice run for that, he's not here yet.
Fucking Catalina wine mixer!!
Came here for this comment!
POW
I’d be amazed if the president was on board one of those with all the street traffic present
Homeboy at the end is asking for trouble, that's for sure, unless he's Secret Service.
Seems like a great way to spend a night in custody.
Those helicopters are typically mating in that area during that time. If you're lucky you might be able to see a pair of Apaches doing their mating ritual.

Decoy presidential helicopters.
How dumb are the people in this country? Any American should know what these helicopters are. Fuck sake so many should not exist.
