The President's New Helicopter

After decades of upgrades to a fleet of notoriously cramped Sikorsky VH-3 Sea Kings, the White House has tasked Lockheed Martin with a dramatic, $6.1-billion makeover of Marine One, the presidential helicopter, starting this summer. The goal: to fit a mobile Oval Office into the tight quarters of a chopper. The new fleet will consist of 23 VH-71 aircraft, each of which will have 200 square feet of cabin space, nearly double the Sea King’s 116.

Aside from the legroom, the copter will incorporate major upgrades to the old defense and communications systems. Equally important is that the aircraft is flight-proven—the $110-million bird is derived from a European-built AgustaWestland EH101, currently doing military service for Canada and the U.K.

Hmmm....A strange request for a man who can only be president for two more years, particularly since it will take quite a while to get the new copter ready....Hmmm.

Here's the only helicopter Bush deserves:

Perhaps King George isn't planning on leaving in 2008. I mean, he took every possible low shot at the people, did every scheme possible, and nobody removed him from office.
If people will do little more then do their jobs, and vent from a PC while the USA becomes ravaged... maybe he knows the obvious, people who care and make sense do fuck all.

He should be made to have Nixon's helicopter, the one he left in when he resigned.
