Citadel - VH-92A

[EEBTTF]

Cool experience for The Citadel today!

Two VH-92A helicopters — the model of aircraft that will soon serve as Marine One, transporting the President of the Unites States — performed a test landing on Summerall Field on March 24.
Not only did Citadel cadets, students, faculty and staff get to see the helicopters in action — some were even able to walk through and tour the inside of the helicopter.

Now that is cool. General Walters, USMC Ret., was Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps before he became President of The Citadel. But he was a Marine Aviator, Cobra pilot and test test pilot in the Corps, before he was Assistant Commandant, I wouldn't doubt he had a hand in getting those new beasts to pay a visit.
