The first Marine One was an H-34 / HUS. I know because it used to come
into
Pax whenever V.P. Nixon wanted to put in a round of golf. At the time, the
"Sea King" (HSS-2) was in our hangar as a prototype.

There was an VH-34 assigned to, HMM-161, in Hawaii that came as a white top
VIP bird, in 1964. There was some talk of some of a foreign head of state
visiting the islands and this one came from MCAS El Toro. The last I knew of
it was that it went to Okinawa with 161 and the Brigade, as they were doing
a workup to go incountry. It stayed behind at MCAS Futenma. I think that it
was a 145 series Bu No.
