What flies the Pres around?
Boeing VC-25 - "Air Force One"
![]()
Sikorsky VH-3D Sea King - "Marine One"
Sikorsky VH-60N Black Hawk - also "Marine One"
Lockheed S-3B Viking - the only aircraft that has served as "Navy One", when Bush Jr flew one to USS Abraham Lincoln.
Sikorsky VH-3A Sea King - last aircraft to serve regularly as "Army One". Until 1976, Army and Marines shared helicopter transport duties. Since 76, its mostly Marines. This aircraft served as both Army One (when Army crew took over duties) and Marine One from 1961 to 1976.
So far "Coast Guard One" has not been used. The closest to it is:
Sikorsky HH-60 Jayhawk - served as "Coast Guard Two" when Biden flew on one as Vice-President
McDonnell Douglas DC-10 - only civilian aircraft to be " Executive One" when Nixon flew on one as President. That callsign is also used by Marine One when flying a President whose term has expired, as happened with Bush Jr and Obama.
