The newly decommissioned Marine One helicopter found a new home with the U.S. Secret Service.

In a video posted to X on Wednesday, Secret Service Deputy Special Agent in Charge Troy Sarria announced the famed aircraft, a Sikorsky VH-3D, is now being used for special agent training at the Rowley Training Center in Maryland.

Over the last 50 years, Marine One has flown every U.S. president and vice president.

“It’s a genuine piece of presidential and Secret Service history,” Sarria said.

Agents going to the president’s or vice president’s detail will have the opportunity to learn in a hands-on, realistic training environment thanks to the new addition.
