Correction, it was Marine One, a Sikorsky S70.

Apparently Marine One was not loaded and was sent back to the Air Guard hangar for pickup later.

Trust me, there is a big difference between the C 17 and the C 5

C-5:

No mistaking the T-5 Texan engines of the C5

Point to note, the 89th Airlift Wing/1st Airlift Squadron, which supports the President's fleet of fixed and rotary winged aircraft is US Air Force not US Army.

norstar if you name all organizations in DHS without googling, i'll take that as justification for why you have the regalia in your avatar...

you're on the honor system seeing that I can't check if you googled or not.

^^^If you're referring to the vessel in the background, isn't that's one of the fast ferries - T&T Spirit or T&T Express seen from the stern?

The craft in the foreground is one of the TTCG Fast Patrol Boats (FPV).

- Transportation Security Administration
- Immigration and Customs Enforcement
- U.S. Coast Guard
- U.S. Secret Service
- Federal Emergency Management Agency
- Customs and Border Protection (CBP)

There are 22 agencies, but I can only remember those.

And why was this necessary?
