BAU on Military Waste (Biden's new choppers)....

[The Tradition]

Biden can't use his $5 BILLION fleet of presidential helicopters because they keep burning the White House lawn... and no one knows how to fix it​

• The new VH-92 Patriot helicopter is only being used on pavement
• Lockheed still working out how to stop it from scorching grass
• New presidential fleet cost $5 billion to make

President Joe Biden's new $5 billion fleet of presidential helicopters has been regulated to second string because they keep scorching the grass on the South Lawn of the White House.

The VH-92 Patriot is landing only on paved runways for now, because its spinning rotors and engine exhaust sometimes scorch the grass where it lands, Bloomberg News reported.

The problem was first identified in 2018 and Biden is using VH-3D Sea King until the scorched earth situation is solved.

Lockheed has delivered 20 VH-92 helicopters to the Marine Corps under the $5 billion program, Lockheed spokeswoman Melissa Chadwick told Bloomberg. She said the company believes it's found a fix and will start testing soon.

They'll probably only charge another $2 billion to fix the problem.

If they land in the same place just sacrifice the grass.

Seriously, government thinking sometimes..

So, why wasn't the project cancelled or renegotiated in 2018, or 2020, or 2022.... ?

They should just hover at 20 feet and let Biden show how vigorous he is by climbing a rope to get in.

 

[Moral]

Biden is too old to design a good helicopter.

Yes, how about a landing pad and paint it green?

I believe Biden told them to get that helicopter off his lawn.

Isn’t it long past time to have a helipad on the WH grounds?

Exactly.
You can’t within 500 yards of the place. Who cares what the grass looks like or if there even is grass.

I say just bring this back.....

I saw that. I don't think websites particularly care about proofreaders or editors. Just push out the content.

I am just waiting for a second amendment article about about a well relegated militia.

Isn't there a tennis court still there? Add Retractable net - instant landing pad.

In North Korea they’d make the engineers stand in the grass during takeoff and landing.

We all know who was president during that time, so I'm sure there is some grift involved.

For $5b .. why not just build a super kewl retractable helipad… dig out an area deep enough and wide enough for a helicopter to land… while not in use the retractable ceiling covers the helipad with standard grass on the surface. So when not in use, no one knows it’s there, the grass can thrive and they have an even more secure space to load and unload the helicopter.

When I saw "Lockheed", I pretty much instantly thought exactly this.

If Lockheed built to spec, and there was no just gross incompetence, don’t go blaming Lockheed.

They wrote the headline for the thread? How does that work? I have to compose my own.
