"The Airbus A320 is a short-to-medium range commercial passenger airliner manufactured by Airbus SAS. The Airbus Family members include the A318, A319, A320, and A321, as well as the ACJ business jet. Airbus A-320 flew for the first time in February 22, 1987 and first delivered in 1988. The A320 pioneered the use of digital fly-by-wire flight control systems in a commercial aircraft. With more than 3,000 aircraft of the A320 family built, it is the second best selling jet airliner family of all time, after the family's primary competition, the Boeing 737. The A320 Airbus features a computerized on-board maintenance system. The avionics systems are designed for easy upgrade without major rework. With the exception of the very earliest A320's, most can be upgraded to the latest avionics standards, keeping the aircraft advanced even after almost 2 decades in service. Also integral to the A320 is the advanced electronic flight deck; with six fully integrated EFIS colour displays and innovative side stick controllers rather than conventional control columns. The A320 also employs a relatively high percentage of composite materials compared to earlier designs. Two engines are offered, the CFM56 and IAE V2500. The A-320 has seating for 150 to 179 passengers, these accommodated in a wider cabin than most single-aisle aircraft, allowing for far greater comfort and the ability to take standard baggage containers. Typical cruising speed of the Airbus A-320 is Mach 0.8 with a range of 3,270 miles with 150 passengers and luggage. "

"The US Airways is an American low-cost airline headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, owned by US Airways Group, Inc. In 1996, the airline ordered up to 400 new Airbus A319, A320 and A321 narrow-body twin jets for delivery starting in 1998 and continuing through 2009; then within days announced its new identity as US Airways. The A320, a short to medium range airliner, is perhaps best known as the first airliner to introduce a fly-by-wire flight control system. The most important contributor to Airbus Industry's success as an airliner manufacturer, the four member A320 family is significant sales success and a technological trailblazer. As of early 2003, firm orders for the A320 stood at 1397 with 1131 delivered. The A320-200 is one of the member of A320's it has a maximum cruising speed of 903km/h at 28,000ft, economical cruising speed of 840km/h at 37,000ft.

"The A330-300 is the biggest member of Airbus' twinjet family and is closely related to the four engined long range A340 with which it shares near identical systems, airframe, flightdeck and wings, the only major difference being the twin (versus four) engine configuration. The A340 and A330 were launched simultaneously in June 1987. Although developed in parallel the A330-300 made its first flight after the A340, on November 2 1992. It was the first aircraft to achieve simultaneous European Joint Airworthiness Authorities (JAA) and US FAA certification, on October 21 1993. Entry into service took place by the end of that year. Differences from the A340 aside from the number of engines are slight changes to the wing and internal systems, including fuel tankage. The A330 (like the A340) takes advantage of a number of technologies first pioneered on the A320, including the common advanced EFIS flightdeck with side stick controllers and flybywire computerised flight control system. While the standard A330-300 shares the same fuselage length as the A340-300, Airbus has studied various stretched (A330-400) and shortened (A330-100 and 200) versions. The shortened A330-200 was formally launched in 1996 as a long range 767-300ER competitor, and is described separately. One stretched, high capacity concept studied for a time featured lower deck seating in place of the forward freight hold. "

"The Airbus A320 is a short to medium range commercial passenger airliner manufactured by Airbus. The A320 was first delivered in 1988 and it uses digital fly-by-wire flight control systems. At that time, the American West Airlines was experiencing financial troubles due to the rapid growth of the airlines which resulted in large operating losses. During 1986, the company was in the verge of bankruptcy. In 1990, the American West Airlines moved into the new terminal 4 and also took the delivery of several Airbus A320 aircraft that were destined for the now defunct Braniff Airways. The A320s were sold to America West at a steep discount. The America West Airlines continued to lose money and operated in bankruptcy from 1991 to 1994. The company resorted to organizational restructuring and the bankruptcy also forced a number of changes on the management aspect. The American West continued ordering Airbus A320 and gradually started retiring its older Boeing 737-200 aircraft. The most notable contribution of the A320 airliner is that it was the best selling member among the family. The A320 features a computerised on-board maintenance system. It also features a wider single-aisle cabin and larger overhead bins. The A320 airliners and other variants (A318, A319, and A321) incorporate LCD (liquid crystal display) units in the flight deck instead of the original CRT (cathode ray tube) displays. There are over 3,000 A320 airliners built, making it the second best selling jet airliner family of all time. "

"The VH-3D Sea King is a twin-engined, all-weather helicopter in support for the transportation operations of the United States President. It was flown by the Marine Helicopter Squadron One. It was developed from the series of Sikorsky S-61 and it was already in the air more than 40 years. It was built as an anti-submarine sensor carrier for the United States Navy. It is the replacement for the SH-60F Sea Hawk for the role of an antisubmarine warfare helicopter. In December 1974, the helicopter was delivered to HMX-1 to replace the VH-3A. It entered the service in 1963. The VH-3A helicopter was entirely replaced by the VH-3D in 1976. The United States Army Executive Flight Detachment was activated in January 1 1958. Together with the Marine Helicopter Squadron One they were given a task to evacuate the President, his family and other government officials. The VH-34D was the primary executive transport helicopter but it was replaced by the VH-3D Sea King in 1961. It was built for the United States Navy as a carrier based anti-submarine helicopter with modified interiors. It was the preferred VIP and executive transport. John F. Kennedy requested the executive aircraft to bear unique markings. He wanted the choppers to have a white and green paint design on both sides of the fuselage, a flag of the United States on the engine cowling, and the Presidential seal on the nose of the helicopter. The helicopter is still in use. It can be seen on televisions whenever it is being used to transport President George W. Bush. "

"The Presidential Helicopter Replacement (VH-71) was a dual-piloted, multi-engine vertical take-off and landing aircraft that would bring the latest vertical lift and command and control communication technology to the primary helicopter platform employed by HMX-1. The VH-71 would be capable of operating day or night, in adverse weather worldwide, in climates including arctic, desert, mountainous, littoral, and tropical. Marine Helicopter Squadron One (HMX-1) is required to provide safe and timely transportation for the President and Vice President of the United States, heads of state and others as directed by the White House Military Office (WHMO). Currently two Type, Model, Series (TMS) aircraft are used by HMX-1 for the Presidential support mission, the VH-3D and the VH-60N. The VH-71 program provides the replacement helicopter for the VH-3D and VH-60N. The future ""Marine One"" would be one of the world's most technologically advanced helicopters, designed to safely and reliably transport the president, vice president, heads of state and other official parties both at home and abroad with mobile ""oval office in the sky"" capabilities."

"The Boeing Model 307 Stratoliner was the first fully pressurized airliner to enter service anywhere in the world. Capable of flying 20,000 feet higher than the 5,000 to 10,000-foot altitude unpressurized airplanes at that time, it was said that it could “fly above the weather�. The Model 307 had a capacity for five crew members and 33 passengers, and had a nearly 12-foot wide cabin for overnight berths. It was the first plane to include a flight engineer as a crew member. Only ten Stratoliners were produced. Three were built for Pan Am, five served with TWA, and a ninth was supplied to multi-millionaire Howard Hughes. The prototype crashed during a test flight. By 1940, the Model 307 was flying routes between Los Angeles and New York, as well as to locations in Latin America. Howard Hughes purchased a model for his personal use, and had it transformed into a luxurious “flying penthouse�. This same plane was later sold to oil tycoon Glenn McCarthy in 1949. The only surviving Stratoliner, operated by Pan Am, is preserved in flying condition at the Smithsonian Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. On March 29, 2002, this particular aircraft was subject to a dramatic crash in which it ditched into Elliott Bay in Seattle, Washington, on what was to be its last flight before heading to the Smithsonian. Despite the incident, it has again been restored and is now on display. "

"The UH-1 Huey Iroquois is a multipurpose utility helicopter. It was manufactured by Bell Helicopter Textron. Its maiden flight was on the 22nd of October 1956 but it was introduced commercially in 1959. Its primary users are the United States Army, Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, Royal Australian Air Force, and Philippine Armed Forces. The Huey, as it is commonly known, became famous for its use in the Vietnam War. The “U” stands for Utility as compared to Attack and the Cargo helicopters. In 1959, the Huey was first used by the military and in 1962 it went into triservice production and became the UH-1. The UH-1 has a lot of variants. The United States Military variants are the XH-40 which is the initial Bell 204 prototype; the YH-40 which the sixth pre-production aircraft; the HU-1A which is known initially as the Bell 204 production model but redesignated in 1962 as the UH-1A; the HU-1B which is an upgraded HU-1A having various external and rotor improvements and in 1962 it was redesignated as the UH-1B; the UH-1C which is similar to the UH-1B; the YUH-1d which is a pre-production prototype of the UH-1D; the UH-1D which is initially the Bell 205 production model and the long fuselage version of the Bell 204.

"Sikorsky, the manufacturer of UH-34, originally developed Seahorse for the Navy but the Army would become a primary user as well using the name “Choctaw”. The U. S. Army employed the UH-34 principally for general utility purposes, as well as VIP transport flights, and SAR missions. The UH-34 played a major role for the Navy in anti-submarine warfare along with search and rescue duties. In the Vietnam War, the Marine Corps depended on Seahorse reliability and modified the UH-34 into one of the first gunship helicopters of the war. The Army's Choctaw helicopter successfully carried out numerous missions in Vietnam ranging from combat assault to medical evacuation and general cargo transportation. The UH-34 was also the final evolution of large piston-engine helicopters before the rise of turbine powered designs. Ultimately the UH-34 was flown by all branches of the U. S. military and also by the armed forces of Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Haiti, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Japan, Katanga, Laos, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Philippines, Soviet Union, Thailand, United Kingdom, Uruguay, and Vietnam. The Sikorsky UH-34D variant of the Seahorse, used for assault missions, was a 12-seater military helicopter mainly used by the U.S Navy. The US Marine Corps ordered the HUS-1 Seahorse (UH-34D) version on October 15, 1954. This helicopter entered Marine service on March 31, 1961, and served in units at New River, North Carolina; Jacksonville; Santa Ana and El Toro, California; and New Orleans. On November 25, 1970, it was retired and placed in storage at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona, having accumulated 3,416 flying hours. "
