Infamous President Richard Nixon Helicopter & Grave

[@JohnLeePedimore]

After his ride on Marine One he got on Air Force One to return home to California.As the plane crossed over Missouri Gerald Ford was sworn in as president and the captain of the plane radioed in and had the plane's call sign changed from Air Force One to Sam 27000 because the plane no longer had the President on board.

[@lossonleonard7118]

Yea! And it was right above Jefferson City, MO when it happened. I was living there and I was just 7 months old.

[@shikat2371]

And then, after he landed at El Toro Air Force Marine Base and gave an impromptu speech to the crowd gathered there, he boarded a Marine Huey helicopter (the kind used in Vietnam) for his final helicopter ride to San Clemente. It wasn't Marine One anymore.

Adam, it's very cool that you went here, because this place has a special place in my heart. Richard Nixon's grave-site was the last one I needed to visit to have seen all 38 presidential grave-sites. I visited it in late June, 2015. Love your videos as always. The video of me going to the grave is on my channel, too!

[@Irina-ft1rl]

That field with that fence was where President Nixon's state funeral happened back in April 27 1994

[@whorayful]

Very nice video presented very well without any obvious bias, well done Adam. You have matured a lot from some your earlier stuff, I will be checking your channel out more often.

[@genxr7971]

I was 7 when Nixon resigned and recall being gathered with my family in front of the TV when it happened. Thanks for another great video.

[@Bo-dr5wd]

this video was awesome, you can definitely see the time and love you poured into this, it was well put together, great cuts, great info and commentary as usual! keep it up!

[@zipshed]

Nixon wasnt any worse than any of the other Presidents. Some get away with shit and some dont. I agree that in todays world not much would be said if it happened over again now.

[@MrZachxd]

Dude, Adam. I love you videos. Please keep them coming! Thanks for all the hard work.

[@xGeneral357]

Nixon was President when I was in high school. He got the US out of that mess in South Vietnam, he was OK in my opinion, a saint by today's standards.

[@shikat2371]

And the timing of the US withdrawal couldn't have been better. My only guess as to why he delayed it until 1972 was it would boost his chances of getting re-elected, and it did.

[@matthewguerra1030]

Unexpected ending to a great video. I liked the splicing in of the historical news stories on Nixon and his resignation speech. You put a lot of time and effort into these videos and it really shows. Thanks Adam.

[@dylangilreath5512]

Great video, Adam!

[@danfhowe]

Congrats on this one Adam. Great job. You know more about Nixon than I do and I'm 61 years old and lived through it all and forgotten most of it. Your not as lucky on this trip as you were on the Disney monorail vid and the right door wasn't locked, but I see you did check it out. I hope you got back in. Dan

[@JoshSchlottman]

Awesome you finally got to the Richard Nixon Museum... Hope you do a video on Ronald Reagan Museum next

[@ogre6729]

How can Adam not have over a million subscribers? His videos are so good!

[@DannyBoy-nz2mi]

really, really, cool vlog man. I have said in the recent past that I just love the historic vlogs that you do. you are obviously a history buff as I am. I have always wanted to go to the Nixon library, very awesome job.

[@nelvis5243]

Your new camera looks incredible, definitely one of your best vids.

[@dennissmith5807]

Awesome video Adam.

[@marioescalante4401]

I visited the Nixon library in 2012 with my brother and cousins. It’s an incredibly beautiful library and museum, and yes, it’s cool to step in front of Marine One and do the Nixon Victory sign lol

[@TransAmMazing]

Awesome vid man! Your videos keep getting better and better

[@ShidamProductions]

Another classic Adam, keep it up buddy, you make my time on the internet enjoyable

[@allilav1265]

great video and exceptional job with the addition of the old clips. im a few years older than you but I was a child still when this was happening so I have never seen this stuff. awesome.

[@Dive-Bar-Casanova]

I was in Viet Nam and he pulled my unit out first thing and I spent the rest of my service in Hawaii.Tricky Dick is OK IMHO.

[@CuracaoLife]

Thanks for sharing!

[@KnowYoutheDukeofArgyll1841]

Interesting video as always Adam. Certainly enjoyed every bit of it .

[@J_.222.]

Adam the Woo, why are you so awesome? Yet another top notch video.

[@Anonymoose]

LOL! You just made me feel *really* old, when you announced that Nixon resigned the day before you were born. I was a 30 year old engineer in aerospace electronics then. Aaaargh! Fascinating look! I did not know that that helicopter still existed. Terrific way to end your adventure, calling a locksmith to come and break into your van. LOL

[@rothe31]

I normally skip everyone’s intros. But I never skip an Adamthewoo intro! Oooooshit sonnnnnnn!

[@Gemashke]

Great video as usual, adam! I like your new shirt too. Sorry about being locked out of the van :(

[@Kim-dq7ff]

Adam I love your channel and your buddy's. Keep up the good work??!!

This is an awesome video !!! I think i might have to watch it again.

[@SashaFitzgerald]

Awesome video Adam! Too bad about your keys :(

[@Fish-on4dt]

I love it when you go to historical places or review artifacts from history. thanks...

[@adamthewoo]

+Fish glad you enjoy the videos, Thanks

[@cindyquinn5252]

One of my favorite quotes Adam. "Always give your best, never get discouraged, never be petty; always remember, others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself." Richard Nixon - August 9, 1974

[@joelciszewski1]

Cindy Quinn What an elegant, wonderful farewell speech !

[@bonnieperkins4012]

Another great video

[@fanofrunbot9771]

If you liked the Nixon Library, you'll love the Reagan Library over in Simi Valley. They've got an Air Force One plane there.

[@buckybadger02]

Adam please do more of these videos!

[@RyanChattaway]

Amazing video dude! I have a fascination with political history as well so I really loved watching this!

[@dr.pendyke4887]

Love that classic victory stance on the top of the stairs...with his coat still buttoned and riding up.

[@dscottfr]

I love how you flash back to the old scenes. very good video. I was wanting to watch you get into your van. God bless you Adam.

[@AnderswohinReisen]

An amazing video!

[@alex3373]

Really enjoy your videos, thank you for showing all of us all those cool places we would probably have never known about👍🏻

[@bigseandogg]

My grandfather was part of the marine one team during President Eisenhower Kennedy and Johnson he left the marines after that. He was the first of his team to ever land a helicopter on the White House lawn.

[@cherylo3285]

Well done,Adam.Keep it up!

[@bharper1977]

Another great video, TY.

[@DanielleMarieSkyy]

awesome video!

[@stephaniecerce3813]

Great video! I love historical places like this.

[@chrislarge718]

Interesting and fascinating as usual Adam, great work!

[@Jeff_The_Weatherman]

Digging the videos, Adam! I live about 30 miles north of Tupelo for the past 15 years, but raised and lived in SoCal for 35 years. I miss SoCal....beach, mountains, but not the traffic!

[@AdventureVanMan]

Nice job. Definately can notice a step up in quality. peace

[@relicman]

I keep finding great Woo classics that I must've missed!

[@matthewgrear3260]

i grew up down the street from the first ever house elvis bought in Memphis and went to college in Mississippi so been through tupelo many many many many times. Born and raised in memphis and big elvis fan and after 31 years of life finally went to graceland

[@adamthewoo]

+Matthew Grear very cool. I love Memphis

[@matthewgrear3260]

+adamthewoo its a really cool city. lots of good food and history. huge fan, keep up the good work. Your doing a great job, love watching your videos.

[@someonewithballs]

+adamthewoo Have you checked out sun studios yet? Its a really cool tour lots of history there. Very rare artifacts. Also, downtown Memphis has the abandoned sterick skyscraper you should check out!

[@matthewgrear3260]

+someonewithballs ill be down town tonight so i will have to check that out. my girlfriend lives down there so i may have to visit that building. and i have lived and been going downtown for almost 32 years and never been to sun studios

[@matthewgrear3260]

+adamthewoo i think you missed the perfect chance for the classic arnold line, get to the chopper

[@blkt6]

Another good one!

[@jackpast8462]

Just read some of these comments. I'll never get used to anyone wasting their time to write anything negative about something that is virtually free. Anyway, great video Adam! Keep the glasses! And get a spare key.

[@arxfortis7481]

Gerald Ford was not Nixon's "predecessor." A predecessor is someone who is in office BEFORE you. Nixon's predecessor was Lyndon Johnson.

[@kgfes]

Successor

[@RaiderDan510]

you should've flagged down that cop that drove behind you at the very end of the video to help get ya back into your van..guess you were to busy vlogging..lol..great video!!!

[@daviddelgado5954]

Nice video, I see you are using your T3i? That's an awesome camera bro!! :)

[@BrettJeffries]

I remember watching all those events live on TV. I first visited the library several weeks after the funeral. I've been back a couple times since. I was particularly interested in the artifacts in the birthplace house. There's some vintage National Geographics and a bar of P&G soap. I have many National Geographics from that era and I even have a box of P&G soap! I think my soap was left over from my grandparents' grocery store in San Bernardino. The soap must be about 70 years old. Yorba Linda has a lot of nice little shops and restaurants off the Imperial Highway, so it's pleasant to take in a little presidential history there. I think the library's gift shop reports that their most popular items relate to that Elvis picture.

[@31Mike]

You should have pointed out that the helicopter wasn't "Marine 1", it was "Army 1". The Presidents Helicopter now is exclusively "Marine 1" but back in the day, it changed between the services. That day just happened to be an Army helicopter.

[@psygn0sis]

Really loving the new format! BTW: What's with the cliffhanger? How'd you get back in the Woomobile?

[@cathyl5888]

speaking from a historical standpoint,awesome video!

[@wiggitywak2050]

great video brother!

[@TheWolfeFam]

You stepped up your production value 100x!

[@stevekoppel4391]

What a sad way to end a great video... Yep... mistakes happen to all of us... I hope you were able to get in without breaking a window.. BTW.. are you on Patreon..? I'd like to give you a few bucks... I hope you are still producing creative content... I enjoy your channel... Every video you do, I give you a thumbs-up! Well deserved my inspirational friend!

[@RonnieFry]

As a Canadian I find it remarkable that most Americans don't realize that Richard Nixon was likely the most intelligent President in your history. A very bright man. Small things like Watergate and the general b.s. of politicking did not even register with this guy. He had a great legacy of achievements and understood this world better than most ever will. On the negative side, he wasn't pretty, he operated at a time when JFK and RFK were in the game and he could be petty. All that said, genius is rare, Jack Kennedy donated to his campaign and he understood the term middle class.

[@joelciszewski1]

Ronald Fry You're right, Nixon and Kennedy were close friends...both of the House of Representative's freshman class of 1948. But more pertinently was his genius. Nixon was gifted with an uncommon and incomprehensible depth of intellectual acumen.

[@tbugher62]

Nixon was a better President than the last 5 we have had.

[@jmoney5453]

Adam! I love your videos! I remember when you had 10,000 subs! You have come very far! You deserve so many more subscribers! Keep making great videos! Xo-Jensen

I've been watching him for almost that long. since I started watching KZbin religiously, actually.

[@tinashafer8334]

As always, love your video.

[@cisstaff5206]

A+ Adam! He wasn't a crook, he just got caught!

[@onomatopoeia162003]

dun, dun, dun

[@conniesheraw2488]

Was set up because he didn't do what Deep state wanted. Presidents between Kennedy and Trump. Had to do what Deep State wanted or they would get screwed or killed.Heatd he wanted to end the Vietnam war.

[@bridgetcat1]

Liked & Subscribed - Thanks adamthewoo - Nixon was actually a very nice man. Its a-shame he got caught with the Watergate stuff but even after his resignation he still remained a Statesman - He continued serving his country albeit quietly and he remained a Peace Maker until the end. I listened to a-lot of his interviews , speeches etc and he was very witty - anyway thanks again Adam ------------ Bridget (New Zealand)

[@MrDoggydog68]

Nixon was good man and had a dry sense of humor . His helicopter.was flown by Tom Cruz USMC, who worked at Lockheed after serving his country. I also worked with Jack Lohrke , baseball great known as Lucky Lohrke. It was a pleasure working with both of them and listening to all their stories.

[@somebodysmom3747]

Good luck with those keys Adam! Great video!

[@christinaports-tollison3866]

Yeah you're in my neck of the woods. It's cool to watch your videos and know the area you are filming at. Also, you inspire my family and I to go explore too. Thank you. I lived in the OC all my life and I think you have seen more than me in the year you have lived here. Ha ha.

[@DavenHiskey]

im here all week adam

[@ehrldawg]

Great vid,Adam !!You should to a series of vids on dead Presidential library and graves.

[@SuzanneGerard]

I'm very upset you didn't ask my mom.

[@Wildfire.]

So is my Mom.

[@BrendanTheGent]

oh no I'm sorry you locked your keys in your van, hope it didn't cost anything to get them out. great video looks like a wonderful place to indulge in history.

[@robertweedman8043]

Great job. Loved the helicopter footage. Hope you got in your van. Or are you still there?

[@gert0788]

"join me, shall you?" hey another great video man!

[@yungmaster99]

Very interesting in presidential history. I learned something great job. You should do more of these on older presidents.

[@Wooley689]

Did you ever get your keys. Har har ;) Enjoyed the vid, thanks.

[@jessicak8997]

Very very neat...except not the part where your keys are locked in the van.

[@garymorris1856]

Referring to him as "infamous" is over the top, and unfair.

[@darinp5612]

he was infamous because of what happened

[@ltrich50]

Good video, Adam.

[@michaelmichaelfordloverman8332]

I'm not into politics but this video is awsome thanks for bringing me along

[@john-waxerone6972]

Did you notice that the shot of the back of the helicopter...right after the shot of Nixon looking out the window, shows the sign plate that reads danger. But, where the tail blade was stopped...the sign reads, "anger". Kind of ironic seeing that must have been what Tricky Dicky must have been feeling on that last ride.

[@punchline43]

+john- waxerone You and amiedetherese 3 comments above are the only people I've ever heard in 49+ years use the term Tricky Dicky. It was always just Tricky Dick. Is the extra y your own spin? Not trying to be nitty picky or nothin' lol. I actually wish I thought of it ; )

[@john-waxerone6972]

my grandma called Nixon that at at the family dinner table years ago by mistake, and she was the, prim and proper type, everyone fell off their chairs dieing laughing! We used that name ever since.

[@tom7601]

A friend of mine was a member of the Marine Corps. ground crew. He told me they cleaned the helicopter with Windex and terry cloth towels. The reasoning was that water could possibly get trapped in the panel joints and cause corrosion...

[@Oreoboots]

I carry 2 sets of keys ever since I locked myself out of my vehicle at a wayside on the way up north 360 mile trip , I remember instead of breaking the window I had tied a set of keys onto the coil spring underneath and hidden from anybody else with a long chunk of plastic coated twisty tie wire , What was happening was the fan clutch was grinding down the shaft as if on a lathe , I made it to an auto repair just before the fan blade fell off and cut up the hoses and belts, (symptom = loud shrill squeal) You could also tape a key to the inside of the bumper (just for the door) flat against the frame or somewhere the tape will stick flat(Unseen and unnoticed) but safe

[@kurtvonfricken6829]

[@websurfer5150]

Woo Dude! That beard look is starting to rock! You have the Navy Seal, Special Ops operator look down. Be your own man but be your best own man...

[@UnKnown-rk2mr]

It never rains in California. On day Nixon body was taken from El Toro to Yorba Linda it began to rain, and thunder and lighting as hearse turned on Yorba Linda Blvd for last journey into museum.

[@dmtcb]

excellent video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@s0nnyburnett]

Had he been president today and done the same thing nobody would give a shit.

[@johnnyroastbeef84]

I thought the same thing X100!

[@breth8159]

unfortunately you're right ethics have died

[@351wmustanggt]

+s0nnyburnett This is not true because Nixon was a Republican, the Clintons and Obmama get free passes because they are democrats, especially the Clintons. What Nixon did was equal to nothing more than shoplifting in comparison to what Hillary has done.

[@zipshed]

+k re True that

[@Knards]

+k re What Nixon did was destroy lives and destroy peoples rights. You know nothing about Nixon You keep complaining about Democrats, you know nothing about them either. You need to leave these forums until you can grow up and learn history

Great Job Adam

[@LasVegas68]

Without any political remarks, it was a great video.

[@snowandice8804]

Your video is awesome. I remember watching the funeral on TV.

[@imbatman88]

Awesome video Adam! Looks like you need Bosnianbill to help you open that lock!

[@TGWMofficial]

Cool video! Very informative. Kinda neat that you were born a day after Nixon resigned.

[@adamthewoo]

+thatguywithmovies yeah I think its pretty interesting

[@TGWMofficial]

Thanks for replying!

[@ILSRWY4]

In 2004 I was at the March Air Force Reserve Base in Riverside, CA and went to the March Air Museum. There Nixon's Marine One was being restored and I got to see it all torn up.... in 2012, I went to the United States Naval Air Museum, Pensacola, FL and by chance, Nixon's Marine One was on display, now restored of course, making a tour of museums across the nation before it settled in its new home here in your Video.. Interestingly, When it was at NAM at Pensacola, FL You WERE ALLOWED to film inside. It was in one of the huge Display Hangers.. I am actually Shocked and sadden to see they have it outside here in your video... such a shame to expose it to the harsh sun and weather elements.

[@deadendust]

He was living in Saddle River, NJ when he died. It was a complete dump. Lots of water damage. House just wasn't maintained. I think they demolished it.

[@Bradols55]

that was very well done. I really enjoyed it

[@Vlogsoup]

Maybe you should put a spare key on your camera strap. That sucks. I got locked out of my house a couple months ago. Happens to us all. Enjoyed the video

[@r7mart]

Very cool, good one
