Assuming date of video is correct - today 09 Mar 2021 - the motorcade: https://youtu.be/fy-jpV6D7cE
Direction motorcade was traveling at POV of source - the arrow indicates both area of POV and direction of travel: https://files.catbox.moe/lg8a1m.GIF
Xiden motorcade looked to be heading out of the city. Certainly the wrong direction in relation of White House to WS Jenks Hardware in NE - where Xiden traveled to today: https://files.catbox.moe/ptg6ii.GIF
The HMX helos I have no idea where they were coming from. Looked to be from VA side, not JBAB.
Maybe the helos were coming from Quantico? From what I understand, there is also a marine base in DC, which I never knew of until a few weeks ago.
Honestly, if a sortie of 3 flew from Quantico to WH, I most likely would have heard it. I'm right under the I-395 visual flight route. Not 100%, but most likely would as I catch all the black flights from Belvoir, not squawking.
There is a Marine base in DC - 8th & I. Unless they landed on the parade field, no place to put down 1, much less 2 or 3 helicopters.
Normally they fly out of Joint Base Andrews - Bolling.
I was under the impression they only fly to Andrews so POTUS can board AF1 there.
BTW, have you noticed what I can only assume is the old AF1 parked at the MGM casino on other side of the bridge? It’s been there for years now, I just find that it’s parked there a bit strange.
HMX-1 operates out of both JBAB and Quantico. No way of really knowing, but the birds probably came up from Quantico.

Ah, good find. Although the article says it will be there until 19 October 2018. It’s still there today.
