    Exclamation A few points about this bullshit re: Marine One not flying due to rain

    The Marine Corps Squadron charged with transporting the president via Rotary Wing Aircraft is "Marine Helicopter Squadron One", or HMX-1, based out of Quantico, VA. They operate two primary helicopters that transport the President.

    The Sikorsky VH-3D Sea King, the one we are most familiar with is the one commonly seen landing on the South Lawn of the White House;

    the Sea King is too large to fit aboard either the C-5 or the C-17 airlifter, so when the President travels and a helicopter is brought along, it is the VH-60N, which is the executive version of the UH-60 Blackhawk.




    The H-60 has a fuselage profile low enough that it can easily fit inside the large Air Force transport aircraft;


    To fly for HMX-1 is a HUGE honor for a Marine Helicopter Pilot and only the best of the best rise to this level.

    The Sikorsky dash 60 is used by every branch of the armed forces and by numerous overseas customers. Over 4000 have been built of the numerous variants.

    THIS IS AN ALL WEATHER HELICOPTER. The Coast Guard flys these fucking things into storms to save lives.

    There is NOTHING stopping one of these aircraft from safely operating in a gentle French rainstorm.

    Nothing.

    Except a petulant president who didn't wanna go out today.

    Helicopter seemed to work just fine in the rain for Obama. Then again, Obama didn't have a comb-over

    I was surprised actually that Trump and the United States government could not find a helicopter that was capable of flying in some very light rain.

    A more plausible explanation to me is that Trump is just a piece of shit who was too lazy to leave his hotel room and honor the American dead in France.

    He does not care about them or anyone else. He was pissed that he had to go and pretend he cared. He failed at that. Once there ,he decided fuck it, I am turning on Fox and eating ice cream.

    I believe it is hair anxiety, coupled with a lack of being the center of attention, no one likes him, but his face sure lit up when he saw Putin.

    Trump had no say in this. The Secret Service determines if it is safe to fly. Not the President.

    Yes it was a huge blue wave on every level, Federal, state and local. Now just imagine what you would have said if it was Obama who refused to go out in the rain to honor our military.

    Please don't use facts, when the JPP liberals are happy in their "Pit of Despair".
