Secret Service acquires iconic presidential Marine One helicopter for advanced agent training program

Over the last 50 years, Marine One has flown every U.S. president and vice president.

"To get the 'new' Marine One helicopter, Deputy Chief Mike Jazwiecki initiated a conversation that led to our partnership and relationship with the Presidential Helicopter[s] Program (PMA-274)," Sarria said. "We worked with their current commander, [Marine] Col. [Alex] Ramthun, and their lead maintenance officer, Matt Cooper, in order to get this new aircraft."

"It's a genuine piece of presidential and Secret Service history," Sarria said.

"We are able to give the basic special agent classes more and better protective training," Sarria said. "This is another step forward in advancing the Secret Service's training capability here at the Rowley Training Center."
