VH-3D Sea King History:
The VH-3D Sea King is a twin-engined, all-weather helicopter in
support for the transportation operations of the United States
President. It was flown by the Marine Helicopter Squadron One. It
was developed from the series of Sikorsky S-61 and it was already in
the air more than 40 years. It was built as an anti-submarine sensor
carrier for the United States Navy. It is the replacement for the
SH-60F Sea Hawk for the role of an antisubmarine warfare helicopter.
In December 1974, the helicopter was delivered to HMX-1 to replace
the VH-3A. It entered the service in 1963. The VH-3A helicopter was
entirely replaced by the VH-3D in 1976.
The United States Army Executive Flight Detachment was activated
in January 1 1958. Together with the Marine Helicopter Squadron One
they were given a task to evacuate the President, his family and
other government officials. The VH-34D was the primary executive
transport helicopter but it was replaced by the VH-3D Sea King in
1961. It was built for the United States Navy as a carrier based
anti-submarine helicopter with modified interiors. It was the
preferred VIP and executive transport.
John F. Kennedy requested the executive aircraft to bear unique
markings. He wanted the choppers to have a white and green paint
design on both sides of the fuselage, a flag of the United States on
the engine cowling, and the Presidential seal on the nose of the
helicopter. The helicopter is still in use. It can be seen on
televisions whenever it is being used to transport President George
W. Bush.
