[@ronmorgan1906]

The thing is, DC Metro Police have a desk in the NCRCC alongside the USSS and every other agency in the NCR. They can literally walk across the ops floor and deconflict in real time. It really shouldn't have been an issue as DV movements happen regularly along side federal, state, local, and DoD aviation operations in the SFRA/FRZ.

[@AirTrafficVisualised]

I spent so long trying to find what "NTRCC" stood for. Thank you for demystifying that.

[@Hide.the.Salami]

Does PGPD have one? Guardian is theirs I believe.

[@ronmorgan1906]

Yeah, it was incorrect. The National Capitol Region Coordination Center is in Herndon. Every operator in the NCR is there. I am sure PGPD is there too.

[@johnfriend862]

I promise if USSS needed Guardian to assist they'd have ZERO issues with him flying near a "VIP" flight. Letting criminals go seems to be all politicians are good for these days anyway.

[@mmcclosk]

Guardian is a Prince George's County Police air asset, not DC Metro, whose air asset is Falcon. There is no representative from PGPD in NCRCC to "deconflict" as you say. Short of a medevac, the USSS does not care what you are doing if you are going to be within their bubble of comfort.

Funny to me how some things matter a lot in a situation, then with with a slightly different situation it doesn’t matter at all. I fly in the area that the top right corner of the area shown all the time. I’m just a civilian, instructing students in light planes. Been on the same frequency as one of the presidential transport planes, so I know it was using the AF1 calling, so president was on board. They crossed directly over me with 1,000’ vertical separation, just the same as any two aircraft do all the time. Yet here, a law enforcement aircraft on an actual mission couldn’t get within several miles of VM1. Makes a whole lot of sense, doesn’t it?

[@sidavis]

by protocol they were "Clearing the Airspace" in one Three - Anticipating MARINE ONES flight path down the River through zone three .. meaning that the Helos potentially could have been MUCH closer together in a few minutes ... and in their defense ... police helicopter pursuits are VERY Dynamic and goe directions dictated by the Robbers. They also REQUIRE the Guardian Crew to be laser focused on the robbery pursuit down below..... They don't want Marine ONE to be anywhere near where a police helicopter might have to maneuver rapidly in any direction. It just wasn't safe ... and it was the right call !! Yes I am a military Pilot and Law Enforcement. Guardian didn't like the answer but the also knew it was the right call. PS: Helicopter Support is OPTIONAL and the vast majority of PURSUITS both Foot and Car happen without the luxury of an air unit. Just the facts.

When I was getting my TAS credentials to fly out and into Patomac Airfeid, VKX, inside the FRZ I was still working and held a high-level clearance with DOD. I contacted the investigating authority and said, "Hey guys, I have an active DOD TS/SCI clearance. If you have access to JPAS I'll give you my SSN and you can look me up". Well, that level of clearance wasn't good enough I had to get THEIRS. It consists of a background check and fingerprinting. Turns out theirs barly rises to the level of a Public Trust

While HMX-1 is based at JBAB. it picks the President up on the White House South Lawn. He doesn't go to the base to get on the helicopter.

[@MikeDCWeld]

Sure, but that doesn't mean he has to travel to the South Lawn to from the base to the airport.

[@macsdaddy3383]

That's exactly what I was thinking. The HMX-1 hangars are along the river at Bolling - Anacostia, down near the USN Labs and WHCA. And POTUS was supposedly traveling to (as Marine 1 was headed to) ILG. Meaning one would assume (I know ) Marine 1 was going from its hangar to the WH, picking up pax, and then then heading to ILG. I find it hard understand why POTUS would even be aboard the a/c at that point in the flight. Which then makes me wonder why that a/c was using the Marine1 call sign at that point in its trip.

Using the word VIP and Biden in the same sentence is an oxymoron

[@stupidburp]

Happens all the time with VIPs entering an area in the air or on the ground. Normal traffic and operations will be disrupted. That is the cost of the added security measures. Some VIPs avoid travel into certain areas at certain times to prevent becoming too much of a burden. But the VIPs do need to travel some and some disruptions are unavoidable.

[@dd43740]

Housed in Herndon, VA, the National Capital Regional Coordination Center [NCRCC] is an interagency group that monitors D.C.'s prohibited airspace 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Washington, DC, area is the only area of the country with such a center. The Department of Defense, FAA, the Secret Service, Customs, and Border Protection and the U.S. Capitol Police, along with the TSA, which acts as the executive agency, are represented at NCRCC full-time. During major events or search operations, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, the U.S. Park Police, the Coast Guard and local law enforcement, including D.C. Police, are also NCRCC participants. Each agency or department at NCRCC is responsible for its own mission and jurisdiction as it relates to airspace security. However, the participants work together in identifying airspace that are violated or may violate prohibited airspace. While the response to each possible aircraft violation is decided by each government entity independently of the others, the information is immediately shared by all participants at the NCRCC.

[@cruisinguy6024]

Excellent example of how unnecessarily disruptive presidential transport is in the US. I don’t know any other country that totally shuts down all airport ground and air operations for VIP transport to the extent done so in the US. Another example from my own experience was a life flight needing to respond to a scene call. Secret Service wouldn’t allow us to take off even though the the President wasn’t due to take off for another half hour. (Helo’s base was within the TFR) We had another case where the helo had landed at the hospital before the TFR went into effect but it went into place prior to them leaving. Initially they were cleared to return to base but just after taking off the secret service called, furious, instructing they return to the hospital. They kept the helo on the pad at the hospital for 2 whole days while the president was in town, taking away a vital resource. So absolutely incredibly unnecessary.

[@groovulous8343]

When the President first entered office they would routinely shut down traffic when he flew into Wilmington. That included I-95, I-295, I-495 and Rt-141. That's a bottleneck for traffic flowing between DC, Philly and NYC. You can imagine the backup. Miles and miles in both directions.

[@RetreadPhoto]

We have a major idiot out there with political clout saying it’s OK to take out his political rivals. So maybe these restrictions are a damn good thing. Robbery subjects get away all the time, sometimes because cops eat too much donuts. Some cities don’t even have helos. So, po-po flyboy can sit and wait and whine and grumble.

@@goatdocfilms504I am probably completely and utterly wrong here but I thought it was any fixed wing aircraft POTUS is currently flying in becomes Air Force One and any rotary wing aircraft POTUS is flying in becomes Marine One. Do the aircraft have to be Air Force or Marine Corps aircraft? For example, when Bush 2 landed on that aircraft carrier in a Navy F18 for his infamous “Mission Accomplished” speech in 2003, what was that aircraft’s callsign while he was onboard? Hypothetically speaking, if POTUS was transported in a Gulfstream or some random helicopter, what would that aircraft’s call sign become? I realize that will almost certainly never happen, but still curious nonetheless.

Seems like the president shouldn't get in the way of the police possibly trying to save a life. Seems like marine 1 should have gone around an active police area.

Try telling tRumpy that

​@@delta250a this incident happened on the 9th of February 2024 goofball 😂

Click bait, he never even got near Marine One.

This was earlier this year? I guess Obama needed to get somewhere quickly.

All that for a potato.

Much too loud at 1:15.

So the President IS above the law. Literally! 😂

[@billfreeman7300]

Yes all the Biden criminal family are above the law.

[@Dan007UT]

Clickbait.. wasn't close at all

[@JohnSmith-zi9or]

I don't think you understand the situation. The helicopter was definitely too close to the President according to the Secret Service. Hence the entire point of this video and the reversal of ATC's decision to allow the helicopter to proceed as requested.
