The Sikorsky is a marine helicopter, not airforce and that's why it has the call sign Marine One. -----Original Message----- From: The Airline List [mailto:AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Stanley Powroznik Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2003 11:50 PM To: AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Marine One Quote: ....And when he decides to head off to Camp David/Andrews AFB on a Marine chopper..... I doubt it! Anyone know? Is it "Marine One"? I suggest a Marine helicopter with the call sign "Airforce One" would not be very popular with a few folks! I could be wrong.... ------------------------------------------ When the President boards the Sikorsky helicopter from the White House lawn to head off to anywhere or whenever he is aboard any Air Force helicopter, the designator "Marine One" is utilized. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
