Back to working on the Naval Aviation museum. Using up old stash - Bo Bunny pp, MME pp (stars). stickers - misc & HOTP (silver). Journaling taken from Website
Journaling: Modified from a Sikorsky H-3 Sea King antisubmarine helicopter, this VH-3 flew Presidents Nixon and Ford during the 1970s as part of the Marine Corps' mission to provide short-range helicopter transportation to the President. It was restored by the Sabreliner Corporation and placed on display in August 2011.
Though hunting enemy submarines was the prime reason for its procurement, the Sea King's outstanding performance capabilities prompted its adaptation to other missions. One of these was executive transport, for which the Navy procured eight VH-3A versions of the Sea King. Luxuriously outfitted with carpeting, radio telephones, a wet bar, and toilet facility, the aircraft also were extensively soundproofed and armored, with special protection provided for the aircraft's electrical system and flight controls. Self-sealing fuel tanks and energy-absorbing landing gear and seats improved crash survivability. As executive transports, the aircraft most famously served in the Executive Flight Detachment of Marine Helicopter Squadron (HMX) 1, transporting the President of the United States and other high-ranking government officials.
The helicopter is set up as an exhibit with a back drop featuring the White House. You can walk up the steps, waving to the crowd and pretending that you are the President leaving for an important meeting or going to Camp David.
