Other aircraft slated to fly over include the B-2 stealth bomber, F-22 Raptor and Air Force One.
The U.S. military’s new Marine One helicopter is scheduled to make its public debut Thursday as part of the military July 4 Washington flyover called for by President Trump.
Even though it’s still in testing and not expected to fly Trump until at least late next year, the VH-92 is slated to join the VC-25A, a Boeing 747 better known as Air Force One when the president is on board. Two sources with knowledge of the military’s plans confirmed the VH-92 is scheduled to participate in Trump’s “Salute to America.” ABC News first reported the new helicopter would participate.
An Air Force B-2 Spirit stealth bomber is also slated to fly over, CNN reports. Fighter jets, including the F-22 Raptor, F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and the Navy’s Blue Angels flight demonstration team is also slated to participate in the festivities.
Even though the new VH-92 is not ready to fly the president, the rest of the aircraft already sports the iconic dark green livery that’s become synonymous with the aircraft of Marine Helicopter Squadron One. The Marines are testing three of the helicopters, made by Sikorsky, which is owned by defense contractor Lockheed Martin.
