The Competition to Carry The President

There's a $1.6 billion competition to replace Marine One -- the President's personal fleet of helicopters. American chopper producer Sikorsky Aircraft is up against an international coalition led by Lockheed Martin to provide 23 helicopters. Lockheed's leaning toward Italian designed helicopters. The Navy will make the final decision -- requiring that at least 50% of each machine be American made. (WashPost)
