  • What if Iran spy's are waiting for the helicopters with Stingers.The USA should never,never be use helicopters for transporting the best president America ever:Obama..use the Cadillac!

    Iran is plans a new Pearl Harbor.

  • @richardburns1560 you be sure to pass that information onto the secret service.

  • @richardburns1560 Iran doesn't have a big spy network, no nukes, no attempted assassinations of ambassadors, and no will to attack much of anyone(Israel included). Their only dumbass mistake is being affiliated with Hamas and the like. Don't buy the shit on the TV, America and Israel are the ones that want to attack and destabilize Iran for being defiantly independent. Moral of the story, don't piss off the NWO, you won't win.

  • @XionComrade ...I guess I should add that the other big mistake by Iran is trying to beat the Game Masters(Big Banks, Corporations, and the MIC) at their own game. Irresponsible and foolish, look at what happened to Libya as soon as Gaddafi tried to tilt the balance with gold, entire cities blown to the ground. You want to play the game(Money, Economics), play it by the rules. World sucks...not much freedom for much longer.

  • how much petrol is used to fly soooo many helicopters

  • @DeepBlacklce No petrol is used at all.

  • man this reminds me of the time when I was at ocs, HMX-1 was just down the road from us, we even got to ride out in the chinooks for a field exercise, that was the shit.

  • sometimes they fly with multiple identical marine ones so they dont know which one to shoot down

  • I USED TO WORK FOR THAT UNIT

  • I want to work for the secret service now. I want to be a real MIB agent.

  • Can anybody tell me what's the background music? Really cool!

  • @Sibs1990, Check out National Geographic Channel Thursday, June 16, at 7:00 pm.

  • i live in new jersey and once those EXACT helicopters flew over my house i used meh 600 dollar binoculars and it said the united states of america on 1 of them

  • @iRoxproductions They ALL say "United States of America" on them. They fly as a fleet, changing positions as they fly, so as to not reveal which one the President is actually in. DUH.

  • @Snowflake2217 ya i couldnt see if the others had them cuz it was from one side i was looking at. my dad's friend used to work in the pentagon, and EVERY DAY a fleet of helicopters came to pick him up to work and flew him to washington d.c. it was fucking epic i got to fly once.

  • @iRoxproductions good way to waste tax peyers money if u ask me 

  • Comment removed

  • @wojtuniakfrog is that a threat

  • @kgcrazii ???

  • @wojtuniakfrog lol nvrm. rofl, im not secret service, just wondering .

  • marine one with chinook helicopter :)

  • istnt that helipad in gta??

  • @TheFearlass There's alot of similar ones in New York.

  • "Marine One" is any USMC aircraft/helicopter actually carrying the President...the two HMX-1 "Whiteside" models for this duty are the VH-3D and the smaller VH-60N. The VH-3 is bigger and is preferred, but the VH-60 must be used for trips outside of the northeast CONUS because (unlike the VH-3) it's air-transportable with C-5s and C-17s without disassembly. The military would like to replace both models with a single, air-transportable VXX with the same capacity as the VH-3

  • Celebrating the american empire.

  • that one marine is paying for gas

  • gotta love the tugatugatugatugatugatugatuga the helacopters make XD

  • im surprised he doesnt have an apache escort haha

  • maybe people aren't getting this.

    but just like how Air Force One is any plane that the president boards, Marine One is any helicopter that has the President in it. once the president steps foot onto a helicopter, its call name is Marine One, and it flies by the Marine One Squawk Code when airborne.

    so argue whether its the VH 60, VH 3, the VH 35D all you want, in the end its whichever is carrying the president. even if its a small Bell Ranger from the PD, if the presidents it, its Marine One.

  • @Sharod101 wait a sec, im pretty sure the callsign for any aircraft carry the pres would be (branch of service)+ one, since marine one is a usmc heli, and air force one is a air force plane. you get what i mean? so if the pres would ever enter a navy or army aircraft, itd b called navy or army one.

  • @dumaznbum I don't think so, from what i've learned, if the president is onboard a plane, its known as AF1

    and Marine 1 for any Helicopters.

    i could be wrong, the source i had picked it up from could be wrong....for other service branches only. but any other civilian plane/helicopter is given callsign AF/Marine One.

  • @Sharod101 lol you said if the president is on a PLANE its known as af1, but the presidents cilivian plane call sign is executive one, lol back when the army heli also carried the pres, it was known as army one. the number one signifies that the pres is on board. thus his call sign would be branch of sevice/aircraft + one

  • @BlackBrickStudioz

    Only the flight knows which Helo POTUS is on. They switch formations SEVERAL times during a flight

  • @BlackBrickStudioz

    safer in the air than on the ground....

  • U.S. Marine One VH-3D VH-53D & VH-60N

  • 3:07 the secreat service agent runs

  • wooow

  • what a fu.. landing you suck man..

  • The best of the best, absolutely no room for error on that pad.

  • Why don't they put the President in much smaller helicopter, but have several of them all unmarked, that way no terrorist will know which one he is in. The more the better. This also provides better protection as each one will have counter-missile defenses so can have a better chance to protect against multiple attacks and cost less. Also if they used a hybrid system with a battery, each one would be mechanically safer and could be more agile, and not produce heat signature under emergency.

  • @atbee The current Marine One is a Sikorsky S-70 Black Hawk heavily modified, and the US presidential office is currently looking for a new helicopter to replace it. Could be anything from another Sikorsky to a Agusta Westland or a NHI NH90. I'd go with the last one if I were Obama.

  • @wellerocks

    You are so wrong. The TRUE Marine One helicopter is a VH-3. He will sometimes fly on the VH-60, which when he is on board it is called Marine One.

  • @Metrix265 Yeah I know, I saw a documentary of the Marine one, and I realized I was mistaken before, I apologize.

  • @wellerocks, There are 35 aircraft in the fleet, not just one current one.

  • u see how soft he landed damn that was smooth

  • @kidpoes yup skillls!!!

  • What a rattlebox piece of junk

  • I want to fly this thing, it's awesome!

  • I saw five of them at the G20 Summit in Toronto! who knows who could have been them. What didn't make sense was U.S. choppers in Toronto?

  • Those pads must be just over 120ft wide. CH-47s are 99ft long.

  • HEY YOU ~ SLUM BOZO ~ may the next trip u take

    be down the steps of AF1

    and if could supply us with a sound bite of your head smacking onto the tarmac that would loved by many ~ !

    And if you really want to know what we think put the words

    { ANIMALS IN THE WHITEHOUSE }

    IN the search bar...because truly we have

    ANIMALS IN THE WHITE HOUSE ~ !

  • is this on itunes?

  • Watch........The Obama Deception

  • This helicopter looks so small when you actually see it in person. At least they keep it looking clean and beautiful...

  • Comment removed

  • more than paratroopers huh? lol

  • My brother experiences this first hand, he rides with obama on trips and visits. He also works on marine one.

  • @drummerkidkill, MY brother FLIES Marine One!

  • It would not be that hard to take out them helicopters.

  • what type of helicopter does the president fly on?

  • Does anyone even remember Bush? You know the guy who's crappy leadership and bad economic practices that lead to the recession and massive deficit?!

  • @elitegrunthuntr do you actually filter the shit that happens about in your brain before it hits your mouth or do you just blurt out your retarded swill haphazardly? The massive deficit was caused by the moron we have in office now, mainly, but also by American politicians in general doing exactly what the American public does, living a credit card lifestyle on a welfare budget........Im sure you know all about that, you uneducated hapless twit.

  • @CHUGNRUN These kind of posts are my favorite, we need more comedy like yours! While calling someone else an "uneducated hapless twit" you spew the most idiotic statements imaginable. How exactly douchebag is the deficit we have now caused by President Obama? Are you saying he came into office with some kind of surplus? I suppose Bush didn't oversee any spending right? He probably created a ton of jobs too huh?

  • @elitegrunthuntr yea at the end of his term we were in a deficet of 3.4 trillion dollars, how much are we up to now? 13 trillion? I liked Bush better than Obama

  • @blazefox2 but the difference is that Bush came in to office with a balenced budget and surplus and president Obama came into office with a haphazzard budget, a reccession and two wars to win. If it wasn't for Bush there wouldn't be a deficit

  • Its pretty scary of those things fly about 100m over your head in Washington DC

  • seen these fly over my job yesterday in manhattan...pretty dam cool

  • OORAH!

  • president obama looks like a monkey honestly look at his ears lol fuking nob

  • @DILAFZAL and you sound like a dog barking at him ;D

  • I forgot 2 or 3 of the marine one escorts crashed so now it gets a chinook escort. They oredered replacements at the cost of something like 5 Billion.

  • @websuspect, there has NEVER been an incident involving any of the Marine One choppers or escorts.

  • @Snowflake2217 That is a lie.

  • @websuspect, watch the National Geographic special on tv next week, June 16th at 7 pm. They state that there has never been an incident.

  • Typical Americans... First you dis the Russians then you end up modifying their helicopters to transport the President of USA.

  • @SuperDave619 fuck the russians

  • @SuperDave619

    It's not a Russian helicopter, tard.

  • @SuperDave619 its an american helicopter with american crew transporting an american president. FTW! =) and no i dont hate russians.

  • @worldtravel101 not sure about the american part .. still waiting on his birth certificate.

  • haha, love the dramatic music National Geographic, its not like you're splitting the red sea or anything lol

  • @cagyeman suck my dick if you even think mcain would have been better

  • I'm an Obama fan, this music is really dramatic, relax.

  • @clever50- Mccain would not be a good prez but anyone is better than the dumbass in office right now.

  • Obama needs to fly in a bath tub. He does not deserve Marine1. Don't call me racist, he's just a crap president.

  • Shut up. I'd like to see you do better.

  • @agentfazexx- okay, that would be really easy to do better than him. He knows nothing about politics, or anything else. I'm 13 and I know more than him. He thinks he is a ruler, and he does not understand that he is a representative of the people.

  • @Airrage88 LOL! You think you know more than the President about politics? You're just another kid that thinks they know everything. You still have growing up to do there kiddo.

  • @agentfazexx Yes i do because i'm 13 and there is more off my life to live dipshit. Let me guess, you wanted "change" because you screwed up your life and you need the goverment to help you get off your ass because you're too fat to do it yourself.

  • @Airrage88 You really do show your obvious lack of maturity trying to argue. I'm three times your age, you can't win kiddo.

  • @agentfazexx Lack of maturity eh? Your just trying to shut me up because your too much of a dumbass to argue with me. I don't shut up. Trying to shut me up is about as effective as trying to tickle a brick. You have nothing to defend your bullshit president and I can argue till you get a life and learn a tiny bit about politics. That will be never you socialist bastard.

  • @Airrage88 Lol, you're funny.

  • Agreed! Obama isn't much to write home about. Anyone who thinks he is a good president is in denial.

  • @cessna421ace you are in denial

  • @clever50 I am not in denial because Barack Obama is NOT a good president. If you believe he is a good president please tell everyone what he has done to improve the economy and what he has done to promote new jobs that are not dependant on the supply of stimulus money?

  • it was flying so low that you could easily see it was green with a white top

  • i saw this same helicopter fly over my school's soccer field during practice 2 days ago

  • The Music is perfect for it

  • cool tax payers money!

  • Stop posting about "your" tax dollars you douchebag. You aren't even a US Citizen. Shut the fuck up, the President needs another means of transportation aside from a fucking jumbo jet, and a car.

  • Exactly, in fact its probably saving money using the helicopters rather then the jet.

  • Well the chopper is used for short distance travels, and if it can land where he's going. Its main function is to take him to Andrews AFB.

  • that was funny hewittdj1 ...lol

  • I heard they wanted to make a new Marine 1 that costed like $123,000,000. What kind of helicopter costs that much??

  • @mrmanown Thats not for just one heillo. That is for a series of copters and they have pulled the plug more than 60% of the through the project! Lockhead in Owego NY is now feeling the pain of the pulled plag aswell as countless others I'm sure!

  • the presidents helicopter

  • @mrmanown One with all kinds of freaking technology that wont be available to us for maybe 5-10 years lol

    They spare no expense when it comes to the safety of the president. Plus they buy more than one heli replace the parts at the first sign of ware.

  • A kitted up helicopter like that plane of that film "soul plane" it had spinners and hydraulics lol

  • @mrmanown that's not true, the next presidents elicopter is built by augusta and it's not possible that it cost 123000000$

    sorry for mine shitty english.

  • I found out it was a few helicopters added to the fleet. so everything combined is costing $123,000,000.

  • ok, so that is possible...

  • I can't believe that they would even think about putting the president on a Sea King, those things fall out of the sky more often than paratroopers.

  • Hahaha good one.

  • @hewittdj1 hahah well said!

  • @hewittdj1 They may have a bad track record, but talking to pilots of them, most of them wouldn't fly another type of helicopter if asked. Nothing is computerized and it is all by hand: What flying should be.

  • @saintrobbie375 seriously not computerized?

  • @musicman216 In the Sea King, no. Nothing is computerized at all: So the pilots believe they are truly flying it. The S-60 Backhawk has several compturized systems and pilots who have done exchanges from the Canadian Air Force with experience in the Sea King find that the Blackhawk is a great aircraft to fly, but have trouble with how light it feels.

  • @hewittdj1 lmao for some reason thats sounds so fucking funny

  • @hewittdj1

    I guess you are happy they are switching to Blackhawks then yes?

  • @hewittdj1 We can only hope!

  • @hewittdj1 The military modifies all the presidential aircrafts, they may be designed a certain way, but it is outfitted with the latest hardware and technology and defense system so that it's like a flying fortress. They don't fall out of skies randomly, not the Marine One helicopters.

  • @hewittdj1 Aw really are they that bad? :(

  • @hewittdj1 paratroopers dont fall out of the sky, they fall through it

  • @hewittdj1 Not when you replace parts after every flight

  • @hewittdj1

    we dont.

  • @hewittdj1 Not when they are maintained to zero hour standards.

  • well this sea king, is really just a body of a sea king. everything is changed out.

  • @hewittdj1 Yeah, and that is why 90% of the resque helicopters around the world, in the worlds hardest conditions to fly in are Sea Kings.

  • @hewittdj1 well hopefully it will fall while obama is aboard.

  • @bisstube Why?

  • Advertisements suck.

  • @Sunburn2007 They are so annoying

  • @Sunburn2007 get firefox with adblock plus

  • @emme114 lol the advertisement before the video isn't something you can block.

  • @Sunburn2007 no? i thought so. i have the adblock and i've never ever had a single ad

  • Comment removed

  • nice movie!

    what's music name??

  • AF1 landed at our base in Memphis TN it was pretty cool

  • at andrews AFB airshow in may I saw marine one land and AF1 take.

    what a sight!!

    If you get the change to see them, take it.

  • To supplement my response to kintatzu333 below, I think that since 5 AugustaWestland VH-71 Increment One airframes are built-superior to the H-3s, they might go with that, just not so gold-plated. A good balance would be 15 or so VH-71s or VH-92s, then put the VH-60Ns through a Service Life Extension Program since these Hawks are preferred for overseas travel anyway. For now, the 30-year old H-3s will have to go through the SLEP program and will be good as new. But we don't need 50-year old M1s!

  • with all the most advance technology on that country, the most powerful man on earth still flies on an old chopper for safety?!, i dont get it? pls enlightened me, why not the kewl looking blackhawk or the chinook, or the seahawk,

  • Budget budget budget.

  • Because if it isn't broke, then why fix it?.. just because someting is new, doesn't mean its better!

  • @ImportMafia

    "They" wanted to replace both the big VH-3D and the air-transportable VH-60N with a single VXX model...plus have the capacity for tv transmissions in flight, on top of all the safety and security specs needed for POTUS use. Even with the VH-71, it just couldn't be don't without billions of dollars and years of development. Of course, those 1970s VH-3Ds aren't getting any younger....

  • Well...the POTUS does have 8 BlackHawks classified as "VH-60Ns" (foldout doors instead of the sliding doors of the UH-60 utility transport) to supplement the 11 VH-3D SeaKings...all Sikorsky products. The Sikorsky S-92 SuperHawk would have made a nice replacement for the 11 SeaKings, being larger, faster, better. But the VH-71 Kestrels are yet better and a bit bigger but they overloaded them with bells/whistles, making each one of the proposed 23 cost MORE than each AF1 747. The H-60s are OK.

  • The United States action in Iraq has killed hundreds of thousands of elderly, women and children. Very sad.

  • Yes, really. The gassing of the kurds was sanctioned by the US and done with US supplied chemicals.

    The invasion of Iraq killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians.

  • Where are you even getting this information from? The US did not supply the chemicals Saddam used on the Kurds. Iraq had the capability to make their own chemicals then you know. At least 98% of those civilians died because of sectarian violence and not by US soldiers. Although the US did kill some civilians, it is nowhere near hundreds of thousands. Get the facts straight.

  • Yes, the US supplied the chemicals and the capacity to use them.

    The hundreds of thousands of civilians killed are at the feet the the United States. The power of the US propaganda machine and the willingness of US citizens to believe only what they want cannot be underestimated.

  • saddam is dead. that is all that matters.

  • but dude, the real terrorists are in america! the americans!

  • Yeah right idiot, we're the terrorists. we only liberated millions of people in iraq and we are liberating them in afghanistan. We treat the prisoners in gitmo better than we treat our soldiers for crying out loud. Cry me a river.

  • Darfur called, they are waiting to be 'liberated'.

    But hey, why would you go in and liberate millions of people who have already had a few million murdered when there is no natural resources to plunder.

  • Your just jealous that we can still be #1 country in the world even though our economy is more screwed up than Osama Bin Laden. You are pathetic for hating a country that kept you from killing 50 people for "Allah".

  • what about the saddams in america? who's going to kill them?

  • there are no saddams in america. There was one saddam in iraq but we hanged his ass.

  • fuck u you bitch

  • dude who cares the world is hellz overpopulated anyway. the more children die or fail to get born the better it is for everyone else

  • what the fuck is wrong with u?

  • nothin, but theres something wrong with you because i was just using logic and you just say "what the fuck is wrong with you" and don't say what is wrong with my logic. I don't want to kill babies. All i'm sayin is with food, water, and healthcare shortages and with the climate crisis and peak oil imminent, the last thing we should be doing is thinking about how we can have more babies.

  • Wow this is kind of odd I'm only 13.

  • AMEN dud

  • Ok I know I am going to get a lot of thumbs down for this but whatever.

    Barack Obama has already spent more money on bailouts than Bush did in 8 years. Who got the money? Businesses

    that used it on private jets and resorts.

    Don't call me racist, but Obama needs to get his act together and tell ALL the businesses that this is a recession, and that they need to use it ON the business, not for themselves.

  • You got a thumbs up from me.

  • obama sux

  • Gotta make sure he can get around....alive. The cost and all of it is necessary for him to stay in touch with the people and nation. Bonus: the whole parade impressively demonstrates America's power.

  • they need like 5 apaches with them and like f-16s flying around everywhere, then the parade will show americas power

  • uh 60 black hawk ! ..is the best ...is the only ,,is the king

  • hell if i was him i'd rather ride in a suped up ch-53.hell you could fit a few flatscreens in that baby

  • They fly staff in the 53s in the all-green "Executive Scheme" along with Chinooks. But the 53 was a big NO GO for M1 as taking off "easy" tore out the South Lawn of the White House!!!

  • those a re sea knights not chinooks

  • they are not chinooks they are Seaknights, the Chinhook is the British manufactured version of the Seaknight.

  • It's not one guy as such. He is an entire branch of our government.
