and a real photo


Pretty sure that's same as the other pics...an artist rendering just to show
what it would look like...White House won't get theirs until Sept 2020.


Hmmm. Don't be so sure...


Oops...you're right...somewhere along the line my starting source referred to
the pics as "artist's rendering".

Naval Air Systems Command photo, test on 2018-09-22.

The next Presidential helicopter, the VH-92A built by Sikorsky, successfully
landed at the White House during its first test run September, Naval Air Systems
Command told USNI News this week.

I always prefer live ops photos to anything else, if possible at all.
And frankly, this photo positively reeks of test environment, with a zillion
camera tripods and assorted goons all around. They wouldn't be in a fake pic.
