New Presidential Helicopters
.
The United States is going to buy 26 new helicopters for the Presidential fleet.
Three for testing.
Twenty-three for ... flying.
Yes, the President can only fly in one at a time. They only cost $110,000,000. Each.
Here's the kicker: they will be built in the U.S. (mostly), by Lockheed, Boeing and General Electric.
They will be designed by AgustaWestland. Who are they, you ask?
Did I get that right? Yes.
SOMEONE THINKS WE CAN NO LONGER DESIGN A HELICOPTER FOR OUR OWN PRESIDENT TO FLY AROUND IN??!!
BUNK!
