About Our Cover
A developmental Sikorsky VH-92A helicopter conducted landing and takeoff testing at the White House South Lawn on Sept. 22, 2018. On Aug. 19, 2024, President Biden flew on an operational VH-92A for the first time, capping more than 20 years of acquisition and development efforts. The final aircraft was delivered by Sikorsky five days before. See pg. 16. (US Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Hunter Helis)
