File talk:Marine One (H3-H Sea King) departs Andrews AFB, Maryland, enroute to the White House. On the ground Air Force security monitors the flight 010911-F-RG777-004.jpg

Far be it for me to disagree with what I assume is an official description by a US DOD service member, but that looks more like a Sea Stallion than a Sea King -- count the rotor blades, see the tail rotor, note the fuselage shape -- but the Marine One article doesn't list Sea Stallions as being in their inventory. Were the Marines using a Sea Stallion for some reason on 11 September 2001? Was it perhaps deemed a more secure aircraft in the atmosphere of what was happening that day?
