~Track back to see if Trump's personal helicopter ever went over the district - N76DT. I believe it only ever went to/from DCA though, and not through the district proper.~

~Idea - the other helicopters are below a certain ceiling, so that hmx-1 had its own area. Update: I've looked into this and not been able to verify it so am going to go ahead and close this.~

Also, search deeper. Also newspapers.com

[gbinal]

this amazing video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlUPEI2KsAE

Then, makes me think about trying to reach out to all squadrons to see who would be willing to do an interview or similar.

Also, think about a wider range of interviewers for the podcast.

Reason for much of the military airtime over Dc is just puppets getting in their hours/keeping the airframes in good condition (see GAO report).

[gbinal]

Plans are to replace the 1st squadron helicopters with these

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AgustaWestland_AW139

[LoganSound]

notably change of type designation to AH139, I'm not sure replacement is as likely as supplement - the UH1N was rated the most reliable aircraft in the military by GAO. A pilot I spoke to in September said the latest hold up is they had to be recertified because of the modifications.

Note that NPP helicopter makes a particular point to check around the WH, Andrews, and in between before Presidential trips between the two...

[gbinal]

Consider a common elevations section -

Air Force 1st sq. 500 feet over DC 250 over the river

nPP - 700 ft

Marine one over dc 800 ft, another time 100 ft though

MSP - 500 over city

mPD - 900 loitering over city
