	USA - Marines Sikorsky VH-60N (S-70A) White Hawk	Off Airport (Washington DC) USA - District of Columbia, February 16, 2018	E. Jones Contact
	Registration/Serial No. | Remarks & Notes
	Unknown (cn Unknown) A Sikorsky VH-60N White Hawk and two USMC Sikorsky VH-3D Sea King's from Marine Helicopter Squadron One (HMX-1) pass by the Washington Monument on approach to the south lawn of the White House to pick up the POTUS. The center Sea King landed on the South Lawn while the other two circled overhead. Luckily, I had time to run back to my car and grab my zoom lens for the following shots. HMX-1 (Nighthawks) Squadron is based at Marine Corps Air Facility Quantico, VA. Funny enough, it was nearly 10-years ago when I was in D.C. and was able to catch similar shots from the same location (17th Street SW).

	Unknown (cn Unknown) I observed the "Marine One" helicopters departing from the South Lawn of the White House in the formation of three. I was set up, hoping to get the timing perfect on this shot as they passed the Washington Monument! There's no way of knowing if this is the one carrying the President, or one of the decoys flying along with him.
