Biden is on his way to New York City so I decide to take a different spin on the departure video today, heading up to the Washington Monument for a birdseye view. Unfortunately, the weather didn't really cooperate.
NOTE: It was cloudy, foggy and raining, all of which made for horrible conditions for filming with things looking out of focus (but really just suffering from dirty windows, clouds and wispy fog). I did my best to enhance it in post-processing, but well...take a look)

W0W!! That pilot has some impressive landing skills!! Thanks P6!! 😁

@susichristianson3395 Год назад

Thanks for the view. No worries that it wasn’t a perfect DC day. It’s winter in DC. That’s how it is. You have to take your shot when the opportunity presents itself. You never know. 😎

Cool video P6. You are the ambassador of tourism. Thanks for venturing out on this ugly rainy day.

@kathibaker1574 Год назад

This was GREAT! Seeing just how much space Marine One has to land is quite a bit more than it looks like from the street. Thanks again!

@barleyhops38 Год назад

What a fun tour you have for us today, thanks!

@jerrycampbell6181 Год назад

From the ground it looks like a much smaller landing zone !!! Even with the weather that was very cool , Thanks P6 !!!

@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888 Год назад

Except it actually really is small. That helicopter is coming in at tree top height and so it doesn't have much room to maneuver along the route. The pilots have to put the wheels on those red disks otherwise the Marines have to deal with a very angry White House groundskeeper, and the pilots being given a hard time by their fellow Marines.

@saywhat8966 Год назад

Keeps the wheels clean too, no mud.

I think it was great to see a video from the Washington Monument. Under the weather conditions and thru the windows, great job. It’s amazing that you can focus at all.❤

@AndrewLumsden Год назад

👏 From up there, you get a much better idea of how much space that M1 has to work with and the size of the landing area on the grass. When you are at ground level, it gives the impression that it is a really small area, which is why they seem to take so long getting manoeuvred and down. I'm glad that you plan to do this again on a clearer day!

@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888 Год назад

It actually is a really small area because they are at tree top height while landing.

@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888 Год назад

@@amberlance182 They start above, but they are quickly at tree top height on their descent. It is a very narrow route and it isn't forgiving to mistakes, but what do I know except what the actual Marine One pilots have said.

@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888 Год назад

@@amberlance182 They plant trees because some die, because Presidents like to plant trees, and because the Secret Service wants a sight line blocked. Well, they said it as part of one of the documentaries filmed about Marine One that I have seen, and they weren't complaining about "HOW HARD" it is. They were explaining why the job is hard, why it takes a lot of training, and that not all who apply for the job will be able to even complete the training they have to undergo. As to why they can't land where they had done so when the South Lawn was undergoing construction it is simple, and it is because Presidents like the short walk and the iconic look that the South Lawn landing zone has over using the motorcade and the landing zone at The Ellipse. You really created a whole bunch of nothing out of a simple explanation that they are dealing with a tight landing zone contrary to what a 2d image shows.

WOW great video!!!! In my 57 years I've never been able to get down to DC and I'm right above the Mason-Dixon line in Lancaster County Pennsylvania 💜. Thanks so much for the beautiful views!!!

@bonniestrader7396 Год назад

What a view! Thanks. DC looked much smaller from up there in the monument. Seeing copter land with president from above we could see the space was big enough. Looking thru fence on ground it looked to me like there was barely room and was close to trees. Not so. Thanks for all those special videos, including Biden at the tunnel. The sound was ok.

@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888 Год назад

The space is big enough, but it is still a pretty tight fit.

@buckeyethrifter8794 Год назад

Just wonderful perspective on the chopper. Thanks for the great views and showing the layout of D.C. Does someone ever carry the briefcase onto the helicopter when Joe leaves?

@Tomteeejay Год назад

Yes, the nuclear football briefcase/holdall is always carried onto and off of Marine One by the assigned military aide. P6 has caught it on camera several times. Not P6 footage, but watch the nuclear football being carried onto Marine One on the South Lawn. In this case by a member of the US Coastguard. All services take their turn for this duty. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YvrObjS8sCQ.html

Great video, P6! This is one of my favorites. Do you know what they’re fixing now at the capitol? That’s a big tarp in front of it. Sandblasting comes to mind. The chopper landing on the little markers was so cool. It’s kinda surprising there’s no helipad. Guess they have to keep the WH perdy. Thanx again!

The Capitol is going through a multi-year exterior renovation. They have been working their way around. The stone will look better when completed, some sandblasting may be part of that work.

@LawrenceKaneshiro Год назад

Not sure if you did. But did you turn off Auto-focus? Because it's cloudy you lose depth of field while shooting wide-open. Otherwise, this is a great angle on a clear day. Look forward to seeing your next attempt.

@Penguinsix Год назад

I tried both manual and auto and even when 'in focus' it looked like it wasn't. The camera even has a 4x zoom to help you focus but I couldn't get a clear view (I usually use the letters on the tail as my focus check). Just a lot of clouds between me and the White House. Definitely will try again on a clear day.

@heckno146 Год назад

Still a good view. That was the telltale all view. For the most part, the tree line is not quite as close as it seems in the ground view. There is a clearing to land. Slowly but surely, seems to be the weight of the machine that is in the handling of the controls to plop down on the pads. You can almost see the turn of the chopper that you hear is the hardest to control, if that back blade spins out of rotation , is in that second hand grip with both feet on the pedal to hold that heaviness in place. Actually a good place for that sweeping view of business as usual in DC

There are no cells. There is an ancient tomb chamber with bars that looks cell like, but it's not. You can read about this topic at the Capitol Architects site.

There are one or two holding rooms in the Capitol Police HQ but that's not in the Capitol. Capitol Police turn over their people to the DC police at the Police station near the Capitol directly.

@Tomteeejay Год назад

It takes time for the entire panel on the board to be replaced. The other side of the Presiden't wall in the Visitors Centre shows who is the current 46th President. The board will be updated and no doubt the conspiracy fantasy types will be in uproar. In the other museums the end dates are shows for Trump 2017-2021. The same goes for Melania with her inaugural dress showing the dates of 2017-2021. Now surely under your theory Melania should still be First Lady and no end date on the dress? Can you see how silly it all gets? Again, the WH Visitors Centre President's board panel will be updated with Trump's end date and Biden's start date. The prominent scammers and grifters will go into melt down with their excuses and the whole silly conspiracy cycle will continue. In the meantime Trump will no be making his big reveal, will not have been re-instated nor appearing on the Emergecy Alert System to address US popultation. Yes, the silly Trump nonsense is a scam and hoax made up on the internet by a few prominent scammers and grifters. The same grifters that promised you that JFK Jnr was coming back to run or be Trump's VP. Get yourself out of the hoax!

green leaves on trees????

@Penguinsix Год назад

Yes. The White House is surrounded by evergreens such as Southern Magnolias and other varieties that do not shed their leaves. This is in large part due to security concerns, with the trees helping protect the windows of the residence. Trees further away from the WH are a mix of evergreens and deciduous trees.

@Tomteeejay Год назад

Biden is not in the WH only in the minds of the die-hard conspiracy types making it up. It is led by a few prominent scammers and grifters on the internet who made up the silly claim in the first place. These claims only ever come from the die-hard conspiracy types. Note they never come from the die-hard Trump Republican politicians on Capitol Hill? The likes of Greene, Boebert, Gaetz, Jordan, Gohmert and all the other die-hard pro Trump Republicans. The claim that Biden is not in the WH only comes from these die hard conspiracy types. The same scammers and grifters that claim that JFK Jnr is coming back to be Trump's Vice President. Can you now see how silly it all gets? The reality is that today Lead Republican Kevin McCarthy will go to the WH to hold talks with Biden. McCarthy when he goes to the WH for such meetings regularly holds a press meeting outside the West Wing of the WH. Watch out for it on the news. "1st February, 2023 3 15 DC Time The President hosts Speaker McCarthy for a meeting at the White House to discuss a range of issues" You'll see it in the media and McCarthy will hold a press conference and make sure the press know what was being discussed.
