March 12, 2015 - Los Angeles, California, U.S - Sikorsky's SH-3 Sea King helicopter has been in use by the US Marine Corps' HMX-1 squadron as the first choice for Marine One since not long after it was placed in service by the US Navy in 1961. The familiar metallic green with white top Sea King is transported, along with the presidential limousine and other large equipment via a set of several C-17 Boeing Globemaster or C-5 Galaxy transport aircraft operated by the US Air Force. US Navy specifications allow for the rotors to fold back as well as the tail to save space in shipboard situations. The SH-3 Sea KIng was officially retired from the US Navy inventory in 2006 and is now slowly being replaced by the newer SH-60 Sea Hawk. The SH-3 Sea King was originally developed for use in anti-submarine warfare and was the first all weather helicopter with the ability to land and float on water. Twin engines, with the first turboshaft to be used in a helicopter, allow the Sea King to shut down one engine while still flying with the other. 'Marine One' is the call sign for the actual helicopter carrying the president at that moment while other helicopters, even when appearing identical in model and appearance, are designated as escort.-------US Marines from HMX-1 walk along the flight line at LAX as they await the arrival of President Obama aboard Air Force One on Thursday March 12, 2015.
