Source

Awhile back, I added this: "The presidential and VIP flights fall under "whiteside." "Greenside" operations include support of Marine Corps Combat Development and operational test and evaluation, such as with the V-22 Osprey, a vertical take-off and landing aircraft."

The general distinction of greenside and whiteside I know from working in the squadron in 1981-1983. -- Maurreen Skowran Maurreen 16:55, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Tail Code

My source stated that HMX-1's tail code is MX, but I haven't been able to verify this... none of the photos I found of the squadron's helicopters, VIP or otherwise, had a tail code at all. bahamut0013 ♠♣ 22:44, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move

It seems like this article should be moved to Marine Helicopter Squadron One, in accordance with both WP:COMMONNAME and WP:ABBR. HMX-1 is pedantic and not widely known. ENeville (talk) 03:13, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

HMX-1 is in keeping with the naming conventions of all other Marine Corps helicopter squadrons which are much more well known by their HM designators then by their awkward official names.--Looper5920 (talk) 05:48, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:COMMONNAME would indicate that the abbreviation would be the appropriate name. Most Marine aviation squadrons are referred to by thier abbreviations. The full names are too unweildy for common use, and usually are only spelled out in very formal usage. "HMX-1" is far more recongnizable than "Marine Helicopter Squadron One", which makes the latter pedantic, not the former. bahamut0013^words _deeds 15:02, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
