United States presidential plane maintenance costs expensive the U.S. president is now using the helicopter is Skolsky Company's Vh-3d Sea King helicopter, is a 1974-year old model helicopter developed.

Can you imagine that the President of the United States would rideA helicopter with the background of Chinese military equipment around?　　Even if China offers only one flying platform and the US is equipped with electronic equipment, the President of the United States will be drowned in the saliva of its domestic hawks and right-wingers. For China, though it has not yet had its own large aircraft, the Chinese aviation industry dares to bid in Vxx, a sensitive U.S. program, whose "Bright sword" spirit is well worth affirming, and even American officials are happy to do so, at least for the American companies.
