COOL 
Tags: helicopter, president, MarineOne, 1, new, flight, oval, office, sky
There's a new presidential helicopter in town, and while George W. will have to run for a third term to get a shot at riding in it, the next president of the United States is a lock for showing up on the White House lawn in this sweet new ride. The Marine One VH-71 is many years in production, but will finally show up in 2009. However, it did venture on its maiden flight recently, and this is what it boasted:
| | 200 square feet of cabin space |
| | seating room for 14 passengers |
| | along with a kitchen |
| | bathroom |
| | high-speed communications suite |
| | sound and vibration reduction |
| | missile protection |
| | speeds up to 167 knots |
| | three 3,000-horsepower turboshaft engines |
| | 350 mile range |
| | Lockheed Martin is building 23 of them by 2018 |
