Last week, the Lockheed Martin Owego stop work on the Presidential Helicopter program.

The order affects Phase 1 and Phase 2. Schumer’s proposing to include Phase 1 in the House and Senate budgets.

“We haven’t gotten any commitments, but we are getting an understanding that cutting it completely makes no sense from a fiscal point of view,” said Schumer.

5 helicopters in Phase 1 are already built. Schumer says safer helicopters are needed because the President’s current one is 30 years old.
