I have a friend at the local airport that got to fuel marine one a few times. was pretty sweet to say the least.
Interesting. Did your friend happen to mention whether or not the President was aboard at the time? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
He wasn't. In fact there are two marine ones, kinda like Air Force 1. I live about an hour and a half from Ft. Knox so the only thing we can figure is that they were out there doing something. They came back like 3 or 4 times for fuel over a period of days. They have pictures of it all. They had to use their 7000 gallon truck to fill the choppers. He told me how much money they made on that... I forget offhand though how much it was.
