Marine One is ususally the call sign of the helicopter carrying the
president, since that is the service brance detailed with carrying the
president, both home and away, by helicopter.

Trivia: The next-generation HMX-1 (Marine One) helicopter:

I used to see HMX-1 helicopters at Quantico. There's a wall there so you
couldn't see exactly what was going on when they were on the ground, but
you could see when it departed.

Yup, not even an American made 'copter.

Thank Hillary for putting the New Yorkers to work.

Is the new AirForce 1 going to be an Airbus?

Sukhoi.
