Iconic, Decommissioned Marine One Helicopter Officially Has a New Purpose


The decommissioned Marine One helicopter will now serve as a training aircraft for the U.S. Secret Service.

On Wednesday, the Secret Service shared video of Marine One — Bureau number 159358 (BUNO 358) — as it arrived at the Rowley Training Center in Maryland on the back of a trailer.

The helicopter, a Sikorsky VH-3D, was decommissioned in 2023 after decades of presidential service that began in 1976, during the Ford administration, according to Naval Aviation News.
