I dont know how agile, but I do know that it will fly in any kind of weather
and it will lift almost 10000 lb. I bet with just a normal staff of people
it is quite a hot rod. From what I have heard the presidential missions will
always be performed after one practice mission is flown.

Was watching "West Wing" on TV (love that show), and in one scene they
swooped in with Marine 1 (POTUS onboard) in a pretty aggresive approach.
Seemed pretty cool flying, with a tight LZ; trees, buncha cars and such

all
around (yeah, TV- I know).

But it made me wonder; just how agile is that Sikorski? Anyone know who
flys it for the show?
