Marine One when flying the US President during Presidents Nixon and Ford administrations, this VH-3 returned to regular service in 1976. Flying with Helicopter Combat Support Squadrons until retired in 2003, the historic helicopter was then transferred to the Naval Aviation Museum at Pensacola. It was restored to Executive configuration by the Sabreliner Corporation and placed on display in August 2011.
