Marine One, the call sign for any United States Marine Corps aircraft carrying the President of the United States, typically flies using helicopters such as the Sikorsky VH-3D Sea King or the VH-60N White Hawk, and more recently the VH-92A Patriot. The flight range varies with the helicopter model:
- The Sikorsky VH-3D Sea King has a range of approximately 450 miles.
- The Sikorsky VH-60N White Hawk can fly about 1,379 miles with external fuel tanks.
- The latest VH-92A Patriot has a range of about 539 nautical miles (roughly 620 miles or 998 kilometers).
Therefore, Marine One's flight range is roughly between 450 and 1,379 miles depending on the specific helicopter used and configuration like external fuel tanks.
