A few minutes after take-off from Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (DC), this Huey (former BuNo 158562) was in a north-bound hurry over the Potomac into the direction of the Thomas-Jefferson memorial. After its career with the US Marine Corps, the Huey arrived at AMARG on 26 Jan'11 with inventory code 7H0057. After some 7 months of storage, the USAF selected the Bell for conversion. It was taken from AMARG on 18 Aug'11 and was moved to Fleet Readiness Center East Cherry Point (NC) for depot-level maintenance overhaul. During '14 it was taken on strength of the 1st Helicopter Squadron at Andrews.

This is VH-92A System Demonstration Test Article 2, the fourth Patriot built. It is former Sikorsky test registration N313SX and was first noted in mid-2019. 169180 is one of 23 VH-92As that the US Navy budget procured, of which 21 will be operational aircraft and two will remain test aircraft. The 21 aircraft are operated by Marine Helicopter Squadron (HMX) OBNE, based at Quantico (VA). The squadron runs a detachment at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (MD). The VH-92As replace the venerable VH-3D Sea King and VH-60N of HMX-1.

Passing The Washington Monument, how classic can it be?

Possibly one of the last operational Sea Kings of Marine Helicopter Squadron (HMX) ONE. The type will see its sundown in 2025.

The red plate on the nose section reveals that this Patriot is carrying a four star general. The helicopter took-off from Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (DC), just on the other side of Ronald Reagan International Airport, both adjacent to the Potomac river, just south of the capital. This fiscal year 2021 VH-92A is former Sikorsky N344MW.

Assigned to 1st HS

Notable is the code 7 on the right hand side on the sensor at the fuselage. Looking to all VH-60Ns in AirHistory.net database, none of the White Tops has such a code.

Pictured in near last light over the Potomac River in DC, this rare MH-60R of Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VS) One, (AIRTEVRON ONE) which is based at NAS Patuxent River (MD). 166519, the fifth MH-60R built, was delivered as part of the Low Rate Initial Production II line to the US Navy in July 2007.

Pictured in near last light of the Potomac River in D.C. The Bell was delivered to US Department Of Interior in May 1999 and acted since within the U.S. Park Police (USPP) Aviation Division and carries Eagle 1 on the front side of the engine bay. The helicopter is used within the law enforcement and Emergency Medical Support (EMS) missions around Washington, D.C.

A Marine One or Two (one = carrying the President, two = carrying vice president) flying over DC. Of course other prominent individuals (i.e. White House cabinet and staff) are able to board the VH-3D too. The white top is one of eleven in service and was pictured over the Potomac River. The VH-3D entered service in 1978 and is expected to be replaced by the VH-92A from 2023.
