Sikorsky VH-3D Sea King Marine One seen in NCIS.
Sikorsky VH-3A Sea King:
VIP transport (Better known as Marine One or Army One 1957–1976.) helicopter for the U.S. Army and Marine Corps; originally designated HSS-2Z. Eight built, plus two SH-3A conversions rebuilt from damaged helicopters (one YHSS-2 and one SH-3A). The rest were returned to the U.S. Navy in 1975–1976 and replaced by the VH-3D.
Army One is the callsign of any United States Army aircraft carrying the president of the United States. From 1957 until 1976, this was usually an Army helicopter transporting the president.
Prior to 1976, responsibility for helicopter transportation of the president was divided between the Army and the U.S. Marine Corps until the Marine Corps was given the sole responsibility of transporting the president by helicopter.
An Army aircraft carrying the vice president is designated Army Two. An Army aircraft carrying the speaker of the house is designated Army Three. An Army aircraft carrying the president pro tempore of the senate is designated Army Four.
Sikorsky VH-3D Sea King:
VIP Presidential transport helicopter (better known as Marine One) for the U.S. Marine Corps, 11 built. It entered service in 1976.
Marine One is the call sign of any United States Marine Corps aircraft carrying the president of the United States. It usually denotes a helicopter operated by Marine Helicopter Squadron One (HMX-1) "Nighthawks", consisting of either the large Sikorsky VH-3D Sea King or the newer, smaller VH-60N "White Hawk". Both helicopters are called "White Tops" because of their livery. Any Marine Corps aircraft carrying the vice president without the president has the call sign Marine Two.
