When I make…you’ll read about it in the Post!Not in the ADIZ Griz. At least not yet.
If you ever spend time on the DC tidal basin/ east potomac park, you’ll also see National Park Service -60s.The ones I see all the time:
HMX-1 60s, VH-3s and Plopters
USAF UH-1s
Army 60s
Coast Guard Dolphins
Secret Service Bell 204 (I Think)
Maryland State Police (not sure of type)
Various flavors of Medivac
I do. I hit balls at the driving range at East Potomac Park. Never seen one. What color are they?If you ever spend time on the DC tidal basin/ east potomac park, you’ll also see National Park Service -60s.
Dark blue or green I think. This was 15 yrs ago. Ready to be corrected if my info is wrong on the unit/org or color.I do. I hit balls at the driving range at East Potomac Park. Never seen one. What color are they?
I already fly into and out of the airfield closest to the inner ring! A mere two miles from getting an F-16 visit, four miles to getting a laser warning, and six miles to getting shot down!I think College Park is in the ADIZ, you could try to land there without the F-16s getting a gun solution on you.
Not anymore. The U.S. Park Police (part of the NPS) now fly a single UH-1. Now, the Maryland State Police fly the AW-139. Most the medical helicopters around here are yellow/black EC-135’s.Dark blue or green I think. This was 15 yrs ago. Ready to be corrected if my info is wrong on the unit/org or color.

This is where DC Metro keeps their two AStars; definitely not a pad you can land your civilian Bell 407 at!Here’s a shot of DC’s only “public” heliport near the baseball stadium and just across the river from where Marine One is kept! As far as I can tell, you have to be a member of Congress to land there…or a big donor!

Close; they have some beautiful Bell 412s.. These are actually old photos because one of their newer birds has a new paint scheme!Not anymore.

You are, of course, correct…but really anything that looks like a duck and quacks like and duck is a UH-1.Close; they have some beautiful Bell 412s.. These are actually old photos because one of their newer birds has a new paint scheme!

When I was a student in the HTs, we planned a cross country to land there. Unfortunately, the day of, there was a storm system between Pensacola and DC. We decided to go to Austin instead.Here’s a shot of DC’s only “public” heliport near the baseball stadium and just across the river from where Marine One is kept!
