Wonder if it will outlast his term, and if the rest of the fleet will make the change.

I doubt it. He gets to take this one home once he’s out of office and I don’t think anyone will want to copy the paint job afterwards. They’re supposed to paint the new ones the same way but I wouldn’t be surprised if that gets nipped by Congress or the next admin.

I actually like the livery, but it being Trump, I predict it will catch a lot of heat. I saw an earlier shot,I don't think the wavey US flag is an improvement. It looks better ( to me ) with the static flag.

It's hard to go against Raymond Loewy / President Kennedy.

It’s “going to the Trump library.”

As a traveling exhibit, with Trump flying it to visit his buddies in Russia, DPRK, etc.

A fine photo from Naval Aviation Museum collections of a UH-1H in service with HT-18. This aircraft was during the period when the UH-34 was decommissioned and the UH-1E/TH-1L was not yet in service. A large number of Army UH-1D and H helicopters were loaned to CNATRA to fill the gap of advanced training.

And it just so happens that a major proposal to unify undergraduate helicopter pilot training was on the table at the time.
