HISTORY:
The presidential helicopter Marine 1 has a long and storied history and is great to see
landing at the White House. This scenery/ AI package presents Marine 1 as an SH3-D Sea
King helicopter as it arrives/ departs the South Lawn. Scenery has been added to spruce
up the default White House model, including the South and North Lawn fountains. To make the
package more realistic a custom built Camp David with landing area, Aspen Lodge, Main Lodge,
and outbuildings is provided. Marine 1's schedule is as follows and every 6 hours:
Depart (GMT) Arrive (GMT) Notes
Andrews AFB 00:00 White House 00:19
White House 01:00 Camp David 01:35
Camp David 02:00 White House 02:35
White House 03:00 Andrews AFB 03:19 No changes made in any KADW AFCAD
Here's a "mission" for you: Take off from KADW Andrews AFB at about 12:55GMT in your favorite fighter
plane. Bank out over downtown DC, locating the White House. A little after 13:00 GMT you should see
Marine 1 (redlabel Sikorsky SH3-D Seaking) lift off from the South Lawn and head north. Fly air cover
all the way to Camp David. After Marine 1 is on the ground, switch to SLEW mode and have a look around.
