AUDIO: DC Police helicopter has to clear the way for Marine One

This is an edited version of air traffic control this evening in Washington DC where a DC Police helicopter (Falcon) was ordered to leave the area so Marine One could fly to the White House. This is approximately 30 minutes of audio cut down to about three minutes with some visuals added.

The helicopter in the background was EAGLE which provides overwatch for Marine One. FALCON is the DC chopper that does local crimes.

The other day I was at gravelly point planespotting and the tower controller was getting ticked off at a flight of two from the marine one squadron not following directions. They were under the “muscle” callsign so I assume no vips were aboard.

MUSSEL is the US Air Force VIP transport service of helicopter squadron 1. They are all over DC so probably have issues with ATC frequently. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Helicopter_Squadron

What is Marine Two? Is it for the staff or media??

Vice President. She came back from the West Coast just after the President returned from Pennsyvlania.

It’s for Biden’s minions.

For Hunter.

The staff that follow the president everywhere , but it's mostly just for confusing people who are attempting to assassinate the president because they look identical and once airborne they make it hard to tell what one the president is in by switching formation until they're to far away for an individual on the ground to target them.

Antique vehicles transporting a geriatric Geezer to and from an antique house.......our country is going to be a much better place once that elderly man is replaced.

Really? If I was the victim of that felon, I’d be upset. These pilots fly around DC all the time.
