The Official Thread Dedicated to "Biden Destroying Us"

@Sarge, this isn't really a Biden related post but since the he was hauled out of DC on the ancient helicopter, thought I'd put it here and I think I recall helicopters are your expertise. My question is, with all the upgrades to helicopters over the past half century, why does the govt still use that archaic albatross looking thing to shuttle the POTUS to and from Andrews? Is it unbelievably reliable and a flying fortress or is it just because that's what they've always done? Thanks!

I can't say with 100% certainty, but my guess is that they still use it because it is extraordinarily reliable, and it is big enough to where it is outfitted electronically similar AF1, but on a much smaller scale so the president can maintain situational awareness in an emergency until he reaches AF1 to get out of dodge.

The fleet is in the process of an upgrade, with the VH-92 and VH-60 helicopters replacing the previous aging fleet. The VH-92 made it's inaugural flight in August of last year, flying Joe Biden from O'Hare to Soldier field.

Okay, so there's some other reason as well, right?

ST there's probably an asterisk requirement there...

"but on a much smaller scale so the president can maintain situational awareness in an emergency *"

* Does not apply to Joe Biden.

I was sure we could bring this back around to Joe.

In all seriousness, thanks for the insight Sarge. It would help the optics to have POTUS flying away in something bad *** rather than something that looks like a whale with a turbo prop attached to its dorsal fin
 
We can start by putting these criminals behind bars or better yet.... That'll dissuade interest in ripping off The People really quick..
The French citizens of the 1700s had ways.
 
Except that the billions they are giving them are not really current tax money being spent, the vast majority is being borrowed
With chunks of it being kicked back to politicians on the sly.

Government spent $50 million on condoms for Gaza.
All I can think of is Hunter or Diddy were over there.
