Ill bet that one is the same machine...

Great news! I wonder why the NMNA didn't want it for display at Pensacola. I believe the only other Presidential bird they have is the S-3 in which W. landed on USS Abe Licncoln.

They also have one of the Marine One H-3's still in the presidential scheme. I don't know the history of it or which president(s) used it. It could have been one of the decoys. It's not in the museum but I saw it sitting outside of the restoration shop last week.
