Museum gets Marine One helicopter

PENSACOLA, Fla. - A helicopter that served as Marine One is the newest display at the National Naval Aviation Museum at Naval Air Station Pensacola. The green and white Sikorsky VH-3A Sea King was one of several similar models used by the White House beginning in 1962 to transport the president. It was acquired two years ago and went through months of restoration, and is now on display in Hangar Bay One. The museum plans a dedication ceremony in the near future. (Sources: WEAR-TV, Pensacola News Journal, 08/03/11)
