Uniforms[edit]

I removed the claim that the Marine pilots wear their dress uniforms while flying the chopper...Where did anyone come up with that? If you look at the pilot in the photo of the Reagans getting out of the chopper, you can see the pilot, and it is very clear that he is not wearing a dress uniform. Therefore, I am again removing the claim until someone can prove otherwise. ZooCrewMan (talk) 07:18, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it is true. It must have been a change instituted since Reagan was president. I'll see if I can find a photo and a reference for it.--Looper5920 (talk) 15:03, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, but how do you know it's true? I realize this is a stupid thing to have a dispute over, but what makes you an authority on what uniforms the pilots wear? And if, as you claim, they wear dress blues, does that mean that the AF pilots wear dress blues when they pilot Air Force One? ZooCrewMan (talk) 02:15, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Take it easy there. The pilots fly in the Dress Blue "C" or "D" uniform. Not the Dress Blue "B". I am not going to add it until I can find a good ref to support it so there is no dispute. What the Air Force does? I have no idea. --Looper5920 (talk) 02:25, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry if I came off as hostile. As I re-read what I wrote, I can see how you can take it as being less than friendly, I didn't mean it like that. All I was trying to do, was to ask how you know that to be true. Were you a Marine One Pilot? How are you so certain that is the case?ZooCrewMan (talk) 05:08, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I know this is literally more then a decade later but I looked at the photos of the helicopter in the Trump era and as of recent, the pilots apear tp wear the dress uniform "C" I can't find anywhere that spells it out, so I'm adding a citation needed. --5cardz (talk) 23:25, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also, it's mentioned in the Uniforms of the United States Marine Corps Article --5cardz (talk) 23:30, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Marine One does fly alone.[edit]

In the article, it says "Marine One never flies alone" but this is technically incorrect. On flights that originate at Joint Base Anacostia, Nighthawk One flies into the restricted airspace (P56 Alpha) frequently as a solo ship and returns out of restricted airspace towards Andrews AFB for example as a solo Marine One. Once it passes Anacostia, a few miles from the White House, it picks up the decoys and continues as Marine One Flight. But for several minutes over the restricted airspace, Marine One is without decoys and flying 'alone'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Penguinsix (talk • contribs) 03:59, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
