What’s in the package

• 1 Travel n Doodle
• 1 Aquadoodle Pen

What size is the drawing area and does it have a hard backing? A: It opens up to about 18″ or so. It is sturdy, but not hard. Can be bent like cardboard If too rough. We keep it in the car for travels and works great as a lap board to draw on, no other support needed to use.

Can this be easily bent by a kid? A: Yes, but it doesn’t get damaged if it’s bent. There is what feels like a thin piece of cardboard inside but it’s not easily creased unless you intentionally try to fold it. The fabric is where the ‘magic’ lives, so as long as the fabric is in tact it would still work even if it got totally mangled.

How do you erase the drawings? A: It dries and disappears.

Buying Guide

A water doodle mat can keep your kid entertained and allow them to be creative without making a mess. This type of toy has a special canvas that your child can draw on with a simple pen filled with water.  The drawing will show up as colorful ink that typically fades away in 10 minutes or less, so the mat will be ready for reuse shortly after your child makes their creation.

When shopping for water doodle mats, you’ll want to purchase the right size for your family’s needs. If you plan to bring the mat on a car or plane trip, you might opt for the travel-sized version. You can find a medium-sized mat that works well for one child, or you can purchase jumbo mats with enough space for multiple kids to work simultaneously.

Water doodle mats often come with a decorative border that can either teach your child basic concepts or provide inspiration for their drawings. If you want your child to work on the alphabet or numbers, you can choose a mat displaying these topics and provide a fun way to learn. Other mats may have a theme like ocean animals, outer space or basic shapes.

At a minimum, you can expect to get at least one water pen with your water doodle mat. Some sets will come with items such as stencils, drawing booklets, sponges or pens that draw certain shapes. You can also find unique options with lighted pens used to make glow-in-the-dark drawings.

Larger water doodle mats usually include suction cups you can use to secure the mat to a hard surface like a wall or floor and make it easier for children to work on it.

What to Look For

• If you want to buy a large water doodle mat but worry about it taking up space, know that most manufacturers make mats that you can easily fold up.
• To avoid damaging the water doodle mat’s special canvas, avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals if your child spills something on it. You should check the directions for your specific mat, but you’ll probably want to try to use a soft cloth that’s slightly damp. Some manufacturers might allow a mild dish soap.
• Rather than trying to use a blow dryer or clothes dryer for a wet mat, always leave it to air dry to avoid damage.
• When filling the water doodle pen, make sure that you don’t fill it above the point recommended by your manufacturer. Otherwise, the pen can leak while your child tries to draw.
• Make sure that your child only uses the included drawing tools with their mat since items like crayons and markers will be very hard or impossible to clean off the mat.
• Since water doodle pens come apart, avoid giving this kind of toy to children who like to put things in their mouths since this can create a hazard.

Water Doodle Mat Rankings

More to Explore

The concept of a water doodle mat traces back to 2003, when the company Spin Master released the Aquadoodle mat in the U.S. as well as other countries. Unlike the water doodle mats now that can reveal various color patterns when a child draws, the original product used a canvas that just showed blue ink. While this type of art form is still pretty new, people have been making drawings in some form potentially as far back as 73,000 years ago.

The 13 Best Aquadoodle Mat

Aquadoodle Mats are fun, but more importantly, they are practically mess-free! Moreover, they are an educational toy ready to encourage imagination all while taking up very little space in your home. Take a look at the best Aquadoodle mat options, all in affordable price ranges to fit any budget. Now you can let your child draw with only a little water to clean up instead of markers or paint!

Best Aquadoodle Mats 

While all of these Aquadoodle mats are similar, the Jasonwell Doodle Mat features two borders of ABCs and the most accessories overall. 

Jasonwell Creative Letters Aqua Doodle Mat 

The Creative Letters Aqua Doodle Mat builds little brains with the alphabet around the border. Even better, each of the letters is in a fun animal shape with vibrant colors. It’s a great option for children ages three and up to start getting ready for school. 

One of the best advantages of this mat is it comes with suction cups, so you can stick it to a wall or other surface. Also, the mat is large at around 40 inches by 32 inches. The large space helps kids to draw, practice writing, and more without any mess. 

What’s great about the mat is it comes with tons of accessories such as a storage box, stamps, pens, templates, molds, and more. Also, the water still supplies fun colors under the mat but doesn’t allow any options for color, but little kids won’t care. Older children will not enjoy the lower options, though, so keep this gift for the messiest children.

Lastly, after the water or “paint” dries, your kids can color again on the mat in about 3 to 10 minutes. It’s very safe, too, meeting several certifications. 

Ocean Water Doodle Mat 

The Water Doodle Mat  includes a ton of accessories ready to encourage children to draw. With this set, you get a large 40 x 28 mat that you can fold up and store in a cabinet or closet. Also, you get 6 pens, 8 molds,  4 templates, a drawing book, and a jigsaw. 

Our favorite aspect of this set is it also comes with a storage bag to make clean up even easier.

Furthermore, you don’t have as much cleanup as the pen uses water, which dries up quickly. Then your child can draw all over again. Simply fill the pen with water and let your kids start drawing. 

Gift this to children ages three years and up. Moreover, it’s non-toxic and completely safe for both children and the environment. All this with an adorable ocean life design around the edge. 

Nature Aqua Magic Mat

If your child loves animals, pick the Nature Aqua Magic Mat as it offers an adorable animal design and still provides a ton of space for drawing. At 40 x 28, the mat is big enough for two kids, and when they are done, fold it up for storage. 

The ink disappears after a few minutes, and then kids can draw again without any paint splatter or ink marks on your table. Also, the compact folded size allows you to fold this up for easy coloring on the road. 

Next, it includes a storage drawstring bag along with many other accessories. With pens, rollers, stamps, templates, and more, kids can stay busy having fun and learning for hours. 

The mess-free toy is best for kids ages three and up. It stimulates imagination, hand-eye coordination, color perception, and more. Use it for siblings, friends, or even a party!

Also, it comes with suction cups, so you can stick it to a wall or other surface for more options. 

Aquadoodle Classic Mat

The Aquadoodle Classic Mat is the original “magic” water mat ready to inspire children to create with water. Mind you, the mat is smaller, but the price is right, and it’s still large enough for two children. At 15.7 x 12.8 x 2 inches is plenty large enough for two children or a single child. 

Honestly, the mat is so affordable for the name brand, you might as well buy one for each of your children. It’s lightweight, too, at about half a pound.

However, this option does not come with a lot of accessories. It includes only one pen and a cap. It does come with four fun color sections, including red, blue, green, and purple, so your child can choose their color. And if you want more fun, check out these Aquadoodle hacks . 

Moreover, the border depicts festive animals in different color block sections. 

Simply add water and let your child have fun with this innovative mat. Do keep in mind this option does not come with a storage container, but it’s compact and easy to store. 

Dinosaurs Aqua Doodle Mat

The Dinosaurs Aqua Doodle Mat works great for two kids who love dinosaurs. While it’s more fun than educational, it will inspire children to learn. Also, it comes with tons of accessories. 

First, the mat is very large at 60 x 40 inches long, making it perfect for expressing creativity. Second, it comes with a seven-color rainbow underneath to help kids learn color and plan accordingly. 

Third, the mat dries in just a few minutes to allow kids to draw over and over again. They can learn some letters if they color them in on the sides right next to the border. 

Do keep this mat out of the sunlight as it can remove the “magical” properties. The set does come with a ton of accessories like templates and molds. It doesn’t, however, include a storage container of any sort. 

The non-toxic toy is perfect for kids ages three and up and ready to create tons of magical fun. 

Pink Letters & Numbers Water Doodle Mat 

The Pink Letters & Numbers Water Doodle Mat is a good choice for little girls who love pink. Also, it’s a great option for teaching counting and letters. The bright festive colors not only help teach but also create a perfect learning border. 

Children ages three and up can color to their heart’s content without creating any mess at all with this gigantic mat. It measures 60 x 40 inches and then folds up into a tiny compact size. However, it doesn’t come with a storage container. 

Grab a storage container because this option includes tons of accessories such as molds, stencils, pencils, and even a roller. It comes with a booklet to help kids learn to draw. All this with a non-toxic mat ready to enchant children. 

Jasonwell Aqua Magic Doodle Mat – 60 x 40

Get the Jasonwell Aqua Magic Doodle Mat – 60 x 40   for a brand you can trust. Jasonwell makes a fantastic gift for children ages three and up. The mat includes an extra-large size of 60 by 40 inches with room for multiple children. 

While it doesn’t have lots of color options, it’s adorable and teaches letters with matching pictures for each letter and number too. With the additions, it transforms into a learning toy as well as a mess-free toy

Give the gift of endless drawing without wasted paper or coloring supplies. Use it to stimulate creativity and curiosity in the very young.

Kids can learn from the adorable mat too. It features labeled ocean creatures, and numbers too. However, the best feature is a gradient instant fill. No other mat offers extreme patterns underneath to entice children to try creative drawing. 

To use, open the back of the pen, add water, then you are ready to draw. The fabric is soft too for complete safety, and it’s toxin-free too. It’s also reusable and mess-proof. 

Do make sure our children do not use real markers, pens, or crayons on the mat! Otherwise, it’s perfect for children three and up. You will love the extra sponge layer ready to reduce all risks of mess. 

Toyk Space Aqua Magic Mat

Fans of outer space will love the Toyk Space Aqua Magic Mat . It looks like a spaceship with fun asteroids and animals ready for a trip to the money. The price is extra nice too for a mat that measures 36 x 24 inches. 

It’s big enough for two or three children to color at once and comes with enough pens for five kids. Your kids can double-fist the color pens, too, if they want. It also comes with a brush, stencils, stamps, bag, roller, and booklet. Store everything in the included storage bag for easy cleanup. 

The mat also includes letters to encourage recognition and learning. Otherwise, they have a giant mat to enjoy mess-free fun. When done, fold it up, and put it away for another day. 

What’s unique about this option is the solar system theme with drawings in the stars for kids to find. Now you will have the confidence to help your child learn to draw and save yourself some cleaning while allowing your child to draw as much as they desire.

Best Glow-in-the-Dark Aquadoodle Mat

If your child loves glow in the dark they need the 2-in-1 Water Doodle Mat . It’s the best-ever water mat with the ability to glow! Even older children will love this mat because of the fun benefit.

Buying Criteria for Aquadoodle Mats

Benefits .

Aqua mats are fabulous because they create less waste and mess. Often, little children do not understand waste and will go through 250 reem of computer paper in just days with only a tiny drawing in the middle of the paper on one side. A water mat prevents this much-wasted paper and saves you money in the process! 

Moreover, not only do you save money and help to improve the environment, but you also get less clean-up, too! The water stays on the mat and then dries and disappears. No paint on your floor, no markers on the wall, no replacing empty markers or crayons. 

Kids can doodle and draw without all the hassle! The other advantage is it’s easy to store too. When storing markers, crayons, brushes, paints, paper, and more, you will use a lot more space. No such issues with a water mat. 

Also, most of the mats are large enough for two kids to use at once, making for an affordable place for two kids can draw. It’s even great for games like tic tac toe! 

Learning Potential

Aquadoodle mats encourage learning, too, as kids can practice writing and drawing skills. Moreover, the mats inspire creativity. Learning to use the water marker helps with hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. 

Furthermore, the borders of the mats also help kids to learn about different themes depending on which they choose. If your child is trying to learn the alphabet, choose one with letters. However, if your child knows their letters, pick a fun option with animals, buildings, or space instead. 

Children can learn about color too as the mat, when wet, displays a rainbow of colors. Also, some of the options also have letters on the mat that kids can find when they get the mat wet. 

Kids as young as a year can use the mat with constant adult supervision. Do not allow a child under three to use a mat without parental supervision. Most kids will not enjoy the mats after about five years old. 

Thankfully the low price makes it easy to keep the mat for a short few years and then toss it or pass it on. 

Older kids will not find the limited options of the mat very enticing. Find better gifts for kids over the age of six years old, as this one will not be used very often and will end up passed down to a younger sibling. 

FAQs – Aquadoodle Mats

What water should i use for the mat .

Use plain old tap water. If you have hard water at your house, then you may want to consider using purified water to prevent a scale from forming on the mat. Otherwise, regular water will work just fine, even if your kids try to drink the water from the “magic” marker. 

Are there any disadvantages to an Aquadoodle mat? 

Well, the main disadvantage of a water mat is you cannot keep any cute drawings your kid makes to store on the fridge. Also, if your child is working on a detailed drawing, some parts may disappear before they are finished drawing the rest of the picture. Try to encourage your child to draw simplistic pictures on the mat, not anything fancy. 

How long will an Aquadoodle mat last? 

If cared for properly, you can expect the mat to last for a few years. However, if it’s not treated well or stored, it may last less than a year. When your child is done with the mat, store it away once it’s fully dry and store it in a cool, dry place for the longest possible life. 

Can I use other items to draw on a water doodle mat?

You (or your children) can use quite a few other items to get water on the water mat. For example, you can use saturated cotton balls, paintbrushes, sponges, and so much more. However, the tools that come with the mat will work best. 

Also, you can try some fun projects too, like foot stamping. For more streams, you can try a toy water gun for cause and effect. Give it a try and teach your children to be creative with water. 

Are the water mats machine washable? 

Some of them are, and others are not. However, do not ever put the mats in the dryer as it can ruin the ability to work. Do not use fabric softener. 

Check the instruction manual of your mat to find out if it’s machine washable before putting it in the washing machine. Most of them are recyclable, so you can toss them in the recycle bin when you are done with the mat.

Be wrinkle-free everywhere you go

Every product on this page was chosen by a Harper's BAZAAR editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy.

But choosing the best travel garment bag for your needs can be a challenge. There are a lot of options on the market, so we asked an expert about how to find the right one. According to Tumi creative director Victor Sanz, “Your garment bag should be sturdy, functional, and sleek. If you’re frequently traveling by plane, a garment bag that folds to fit carry-on requirements is essential.” He adds, “You want to find the size that will fit all your clothes without having to overfold them and will allow you to reach your destination in style.”

Once you start using one of these, you’re never going to go back.

MZ Wallace’s signature quilting isn’t limited to the brand’s totes, appearing here in garment bag form. The thin design is extremely lightweight, ideal for quick trips when you need to bring one to three outfits. There is even an exterior pocket for bonus storage.

Dimensions: 22" × 3" × 39"

Materials: Oxford, leather

What reviewers are saying: “I have been interested in a MZ Wallace garment bag for a while. It is perfect! Just right proportions and size. Thoughtful design and construction details.”

Tumi always delivers premium luggage that will last you over a decade, and this garment bag is no exception. Sanz says: “It’s foldable, with a sturdy handle for easy carrying, making it convenient and compact for every type of travel. I also love that it has several zipper pockets, so I can pack my toiletries and other travel essentials all in one bag. When I arrive at my destination, I hang it in the closet and I know that I will be ready to go.”

Dimensions: 15" x 22" x 6"

Materials: Ballistic nylon

What reviewers are saying: “This bag stores so much for a carry on. I was able to comfortably fit 2 suits and more for a destination wedding!”

This duffel has been receiving high praise ever since its release. A few of the reasons it’s so popular: The duffel is carry-on friendly, water-resistant, and has interior and exterior pockets. And those are only a few of its distinguishing features. Choose an original or compact size for the style that suits your needs.

Dimensions: 22" x 12" x 12"

Materials: Polyester

What reviewers are saying: “The Garment Duffel is a great purchase, especially for anyone in an industry that takes short frequent trips. I was actually able fit quite a bit more clothes than I had anticipated. Took the bag to work and my company bought 20 of them to give to customers. Great purchase.”

Longchamp’s iconic nylon and leather trim takes on a garment bag silhouette. The two-tone design exudes sophistication, with practical touches like a top carry handle, built-in hanger, and front zip pocket.

Dimensions: 23.25" x 41.25"

Materials: Nylon, leather

What reviewers are saying: “I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend who travels a lot and needed a nice garment bag particularly for his suits. This bag is perfect! It fits his suit as well as a few extra shirts. The fabric is an amazing, durable quality, and the leather details make this product look incredible.”

This garment bag is actually designed to fit inside of your carry-on, rather than serving as a stand-alone piece. The water-resistant exterior protects against spills, and exterior zip pockets hold small accessories. It gets the job done, while taking up the least possible amount of space.

Dimensions: 40" x 19"

What reviewers are saying: “I use this bag when I need to workout at work. I go from a suit to athleticwear in minutes.”

Looking for an affordable option that is available ASAP? Amazon’s garment bag holds up to three suits or dresses and boasts multiple zipper compartments.

Dimensions: 40" x 4" x 20.5"

What reviewers are saying: “I bought this bag in 2019 and it has held up incredibly well since then, performs all functions advertised at a great price value. I have taken it on many flights, buses and train rides and have never had an issue with fitting it in the overhead bin on both longer-haul flights and short budget-airline carriers.”

Hartmann’s garment bag adds contemporary touches to an otherwise traditional design. The result? A chic, useful travel accessory that will stand the test of time. The padded shoulder strap and multiple interior pockets enhance the convenience of this style.

Materials: Nylon

What reviewers are saying: “Hartmann was an anniversary gift from my work place, and I am still proud to own it 35 years later.”

Mark & Graham Commuter 2-in-1 Garment Bag

Another convertible duffel, but this time with a personalized touch. That’s right—Mark & Graham lets you monogram your duffel. With a plethora of zippered and snap interior and exterior pockets, this bag gets creative with its storage solutions.

Dimensions: 22" x 10" x 10"

This spinner-style garment bag makes navigating a chaotic airport easy. The ergonomic design has expandable capabilities, as well as various compartments, a hanger bracket, and a pocket for liquids.

Dimensions: 20.5" x 24" x 9.5"

What reviewers are saying: “It’s easy to maneuver and overall great quality and very neat design (many compartments and zippered areas).”

For golfers and non-golfers alike, Stitch makes a duffel that is water- and stain-resistant, and includes a hanger hook, shoulder strap, elastic shoe pockets, and webbed handles. You can even get it customized with your initials.

Dimensions: 22.5" x 11.5" x 12"

What reviewers are saying: “Love it! Fits into the airplane overhead bin, no trouble bringing it along as a carry-on bag. Very sturdy, zippers are tough enough. Shoulder strap is removable. My suit arrived in top shape using this garment bag. Highly recommended.”

Ralph Lauren Leather-Trim Hybrid Garment Duffel

Ralph Lauren’s duffel design is the epitome of understated elegance. An accompanying shoulder strap makes it easy to carry around.

Dimensions: 15" x 21.5" x 9"

Materials: Polyester, leather

Gucci Savoy Garment Bag

"Rocky, wild and unpredictable" — why Baja California is ideal offroading country

Unfurling for more than 750 miles down a stick-thin peninsula, Baja California has long been known for water adventures — but new off-roading tours help travellers see it from a different perspective.

Gripping the roof handle and staring silently over the dashboard, I avert my gaze from the 160ft drop to my left. There’s just six inches of dirt road standing between us and the cliff edge: one wrong move from our driver, and the pickup truck we’re in is going straight into the Sea of Cortez.

The first time I visited Mexico’s Baja California, the world’s second-longest peninsula, it was on a backpacking trip through Central America. I hitchhiked and bussed over 650 miles from Tijuana, on the border with the US, to Todos Santos, just short of Baja’s most southerly point, Cabo San Lucas. Travelling along the Carretera Transpeninsular, I stopped at every major town along Baja’s main highway, wine-tasting in Ensenada, whale-watching in Guerrero Negro and swimming with sea lions on Espiritu Santo Island.

During those long drives, I’d stare out at the stark desert landscape for hours: salt-encrusted greasewood shrubs and giant cardón cacti sprouted from swathes of sand and clay-red mountains, which often turned candyfloss pink at sunset. But what caught my eye were the narrow dirt tracks, hundreds of them crisscrossing the desert like a map drawn in the sand, veering off the highway towards sun-baked sierras and hidden turquoise coves. One day, I thought to myself, I’d return to Baja California to see where those roads led.

Five years on, I’ve come to La Paz, in the south of the Baja California peninsula, to join Baja Expeditions’ first-ever overlanding trip. The company has specialised in whale-watching, kayaking and wild camping in the state since the 1970s, but has recently branched out with off-roading tours to encourage visitors to explore the peninsula’s less-visited interior.

“People think Baja is just beaches and whales,” says our driver Mike Thorneycroft, a Canadian who moved to Baja California in 2020. “But it’s more than that. These trips are about getting people out of the resorts and into Baja’s least-visited communities, and learning some of their history and culture.”

Mike gets us past the cliff edge safely, manoeuvring around asteroid-sized potholes and boulders with ease as we climb up and over Sierra de la Laguna, part of a mountain range that connects Baja California Sur, the southern state of Baja California, with southern California in the US.  

On slightly wider roads, I start to relax and take in the views: unlike the parched desert I’d seen from the highway years ago, these mountains are lush from recent hurricane rains, flourishing with lime-green mesquite trees and pink and yellow wildflowers. We cross arroyos — dry riverbeds that fill up after heavy rainfall — flowing with crystalline water, where orange butterflies and free-roaming piglets from a nearby ranch are taking a drink. A vulture and a flaming red cardinal bird join soon after.

“Baja California is perfect for off-roading,” says Mike, who organises and competes in long-distance off-road rallies across the state. “The roads are rocky, wild and unpredictable, changing quickly in the rainy season. But that’s what makes it exciting.”

Near the former silver-mining town of   El Triunfo, we stop at the Santuario de los Cactus, a community-run garden with some   of the oldest and rarest cacti on earth, including the cardón, the world’s largest cactus. The garden’s grey-moustached volunteer caretaker, Guadalupe ‘Lupe’ Gonzalez, shows us around, pointing out which cacti fruits are edible and how to extract water from their flesh. He also shows us cacti species used to treat kidney stones, stomach aches and open wounds.

“I learnt about the medicinal properties of cacti from the rancheros (ranchers),” says Lupe, caressing the spines of a 400-year-old cactus as if they were whiskers. He’s been caring for the plants here for more than 30 years and offers guided tours of the garden for a small donation. “But this knowledge comes from the Indians. There are none left here now, but we know how to survive in the desert because of them.”

Before the Spanish arrived, Baja California was inhabited by three major Indigenous groups: the Cochimí, the Guaycura and the Pericú. Ancient rock paintings in Sierra de San Francisco, around 465 miles north of where I am and described by UNESCO as some of the most impressive collections of rock paintings in the world, suggest that these tribes had lived on the peninsula for at least 10,000 years.  

Although the Spanish colonised Baja California much later than Mexico’s mainland, around the late 17th century, the culture and history of these local Indigenous groups was erased more quickly than in the rest of Mexico. Some experts believe this is because the region’s Indigenous groups were nomadic hunter-gatherers, who lacked the big cities and societal structures that helped preserve the legacies of the Mayans and Aztecs in other Mexican states. Today, very few Indigenous groups remain, with most living in the north of Baja California.

After a few hours of driving along the spectacular Barriles Santa Teresa coastal road, we make the steep descent to Palo Blanquito beach, where we’ll be spending the night. It’s a wild strip of sand, where milky-red cliffs crumble into a dazzling turquoise sea studded with volcanic rock. Come sunset, it’s just our truck on the beach and a flock of pelicans floating on the dead-still water, like rubber ducks in a jade-coloured bath. We eat refried beans and chicken burritos under the stars, watching a brilliant-white crescent moon rise over the water. That night, I sleep to the sound of the waves lapping gently at the shoreline.

The next morning, I watch the beach come to life from my tent. As the sun rises above the horizon, the sea turns from liquid silver to light pink, illuminating the inside of the tent with a warm glow. A family of pelicans — each one resembling a light aircraft — skim across the water with mouths agape, hoping to catch one of the flying fish backflipping through the air. Eager to join the action, I roll out of the tent and into the sea, plunging head first into the crystal-clear water with my mask and snorkel. Below the surface is an underwater city made of coral and volcanic rock, and colourful fish: I see a long, translucent cornetfish; a tiny cortez rainbow wrasse; and an enormous shoal of California yellowtail, the soft morning light bouncing off their tinfoil-like skin. It’s tempting to stay longer on this wild, empty beach, lounging on the rocks and floating in the warm turquoise waters as the resident pelicans do. But Mike has packed up camp and started the engine — it’s time to continue our journey through the desert roads of Baja California. “That’s the thing with overlanding,” says Mike, opening the passenger door for me to get in. “There’s always one more road to explore.”

See inside Marine One, the soundproof presidential helicopter that can seat 14 people and deploy anti-missile defenses

• Presidents travel in helicopters that are called Marine One when carrying the president.
• The aircraft feature extensive security measures and spacious, soundproof interiors.
• Marine One often picks up the president from the South Lawn of the White House for shorter trips.

US presidents travel in style with secure, state-of-the-art vehicles such as Air Force One and the bulletproof presidential limousine known as "The Beast."

Marine One, the presidential helicopter, is another such mode of transportation. With spacious, soundproof interiors, advanced defense systems, and a landing zone on the White House lawn, the white-topped helicopters are often the most convenient way for presidents to get from place to place.

Take a look inside the Marine One models used by modern presidents.

Similar to Air Force One, any Marine Corps aircraft carrying the president of the United States uses the call sign Marine One.

President Dwight Eisenhower was the first president to fly in a helicopter in an official capacity in 1957, according to the US Naval Institute .

The helicopter is equipped with extensive security measures.

Marine One features antimissile countermeasures, ballistic armor, secure communication lines, and radar-jamming technology.

In case of a crash, it also has self-sealing fuel tanks and energy-absorbing landing gear to help prevent fires and extensive damage.

The president always flies with at least one other decoy Marine One as additional protection.

There can be up to five Marine One helicopters flying at one time to obscure the president's exact location, according to the George W. Bush Presidential Library . The helicopters also frequently change positions after takeoff to make it harder to determine which one the president is on.

Marine One travels abroad with the president, as well.

Military cargo aircraft transport Marine One helicopters abroad and remain on standby at local airports in case of emergency during foreign visits, according to the US Naval Institute.

Marine One can fit between 11 and 14 passengers, depending on the model.

A Black Hawk model called the VH-60N White Hawk can fit 11 passengers, and the Sikorsky VH-3D Sea King helicopters can fit 14, according to the George W. Bush Presidential Library. Both are used as presidential transports.

Presidents often meet with staffers aboard Marine One.

The helicopter is so soundproof that passengers can speak at a normal volume.

Marine One also includes perks like 200 square feet of interior space and a bathroom.

It's also used to transport the president for shorter trips to places like Camp David and Joint Base Andrews in Maryland to board Air Force One.

Flying across Washington, DC, in a helicopter is more efficient than snarling traffic in a presidential motorcade.

Marine One picks the president up on the South Lawn of the White House.

Two newer Sikorsky VH-92A Patriot models built by Lockheed Martin debuted in 2021 with the goal of eventually replacing the older Marine One helicopters. Each new aircraft cost $218 million, CT Insider reported.

Bloomberg reported that the new Sikorsky helicopters are no longer in regular use because the engines kept burning the White House lawn.

Upon boarding and landing, the president is greeted by Marines wearing the Marine Blue Dress uniform.

President Barack Obama sparked controversy in 2013 when he seemingly forgot to return a Marine's salute and doubled back to shake his hand while boarding Marine One, NPR reported.

However, while Army personnel in uniform are required to salute the president, the president doesn't have to return the gesture. The New York Times reported that President Ronald Reagan was the first president to start returning soldiers' salutes in 1981.

The aircraft is stocked with water bottles and snacks including boxes of presidential M&Ms.

The president's seat is the only forward-facing captain's chair on the aircraft aside from the seats occupied by the pilot and copilot, The Points Guy reported.

After his first ride in Marine One in 2009, Obama said that the helicopter was "very smooth" and "very impressive."

"You go right over the Washington Monument and then, you know, kind of curve in by the Capitol," he said. "It was spectacular."

How many airports are there in Moscow, what are they called?

Table of contents:, sheremetyevo, other moscow airports.

2024 Author : Harold Hamphrey | [email protected] . Last modified: 2023-12-17 10:06

Moscow is one of the megacities of the world. Every day a lot of people come to the capital of Russia. So how many airports are there in Moscow? The three main terminals are in the greatest demand: Domodedovo, Vnukovo and Sheremetyevo. But there are also less popular ones.

How many airports are there in Moscow? A lot of them. Some relate directly to the capital, while others - to the Moscow region. One of the largest airports even at the level of Europe is Sheremetyevo. It is located just 29.7 km from the center of the capital. The nearest settlements are Lobnya and Khimki.

Sheremetyevo Airport is one of the main airports in the country and consists of six terminals for passengers:

• A - for businessmen;
• B - a very old dismantled terminal, a new one is being built in its place;
• C - being reconstructed, plans are to connect it with B to create a single complex;
• D - designed for domestic and international flights;
• E - carries out flights of companies included in SkyTearm and all flights in Aeroflot;
• F - intended for the companyRoyal Flight.

The last three terminals in the list make up the ETK. This is a single complex with the Aeroexpress station. This is very convenient for passengers, as they get the opportunity to move freely around all three terminals. Sheremetyevo Airport is not divided into "1" and "2", as there is an erroneous opinion. This is a single complex that simply combines two airport terminals.

How many Domodedovo airports are there in Moscow? To date, he is the only one. Moreover, takeoffs and landings can be carried out simultaneously only in Domodedovo. The airport is located 22 kilometers from the Moscow Ring Road and 45 kilometers from Moscow. Domodedovo has two long, parallel runways.

The airport has a special check-in system - by islands. There are seven of them in the terminal. Four of them have 22 sections, three - 20 each and 4 more for luggage. Domodedovo has the only passenger terminal.

How many Vnukovo airports are there in Moscow? It is also one of the largest airport terminals, and the oldest of all currently operating. Vnukovo is located 10 kilometers from the Moscow Ring Road. The airport is a complex of three terminals, which are called "1", "2" and "3".

Vnukovo-1 consists of three terminals: A, B and D. The last two are connected by a footpath. The first terminal serves international and domestic flights. Terminal B has not been operating since 2016, and all flights that were carried out through it have been transferred to A. Terminal D is intended onlyfor screening passengers of some Russian regions.

Vnukovo-2 is used only for flights of the President, the top leadership of Russia and high-ranking foreign representatives. Vnukovo-3 receives and departs flights from the Moscow government, businessmen and Roskosmos aviation.

Let's take a closer look at how many airports there are in Moscow and their names. In addition to the three main ones listed above, there are less well-known ones. For example, Zhukovsky, located at the Ramenskoye airfield. Therefore, the airport received a double name. Zhukovsky-Ramenskoye is located 36 kilometers from the capital of Russia. The airport is used for certain passenger flights, including flights of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. The airport terminal has one terminal.

How many airports are there in Moscow? Another fairly well-known one is Bykovo. It is located near the city of Zhukovsky. The airfield does not carry out passenger flights, but is used for landing helicopters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Ostafyevo was built in 1934. It is located near South Butovo. The airfield was intended for the NKVD. In Soviet times, it was used by the military. Since 2000, after reconstruction, it has become civil and now accepts passenger flights. The airfield has one terminal.

How many airports are there in Moscow? One of them is Chkalovsky, built in 1930. It is located 31 kilometers from Moscow, near the city of Shchelkovo. The airfield accepts An-124, Tu-154 andIL-62. Chkalovsky is intended for the military. At the moment, the airport serves a special purpose division.

Myachkovo is located in the Ramensky district. The airport is located 16 kilometers from the Moscow Ring Road and 1 km from the village of Upper Myachkovo. The airfield was civilian until 2009. Then acquired the status of sports. It is now used as a landing area for small government aircraft and helicopters. There are two flying clubs on the territory of Myachkovo. They carry out aircraft maintenance and refueling. A medical examination of pilots is also carried out at the airport.

Heavy Rains Hit Southern China as Hong Kong Spots a Waterspout

Bad weather in Guangdong Province forced evacuations as forecasters warned of more rain and potential flooding.

By Zixu Wang and Yan Zhuang

Torrential rain battered southern China on Sunday, causing flooding and forcing tens of thousands of evacuations in the country’s most populous province, as a waterspout appeared briefly in Hong Kong and forecasters warned of potentially severe flooding.

Rain has been falling in Guangdong, which has a population of about 127 million, since last week. It intensified over the weekend, hammering the north of the province and the Pearl River Delta in the south, which includes Guangdong’s capital, Guangzhou, as well as the cities of Hong Kong and Macau.

The city of Yingde, in Guangdong’s north, received nearly a foot of rain from Friday to Sunday, the state-owned newspaper China Daily reported on Sunday . Nearly 20,000 people were evacuated and nine rivers were at risk of overflowing, it said.

In Guangzhou, the Longxue neighborhood received nearly five inches of rain over four hours on Sunday morning, the highest amount in the province.

The Beijiang River, a tributary of the Pearl River, flooded on Saturday night, China’s Ministry of Water Resources said on Sunday. As the downpour continued, the river faced a risk of an “exceptionally large” flood through Monday, the ministry said.

And in Hong Kong, a Chinese territory south of Guangdong, a waterspout was sighted over water by the local meteorological agency on Sunday morning. Waterspouts are whirling columns of air and water mist that form when cold air moves over warmer water, drawing up moisture.

There were no reports of the waterspout’s causing damage, and a rainstorm warning for the city was canceled at 2 p.m. But forecasters warned of violent winds and possible flooding.

Heavy rain was also affecting parts of the neighboring Chinese provinces of Guangxi, Jiangxi and Fujian on Sunday.

The heaviest rain was forecast to shift from the north to the east of Guangdong on Monday, and some areas could receive up to 10 inches of rain over 24 hours, according to the China Weather Network, an arm of the country’s meteorological authority. The rainfall was expected to begin easing on Tuesday.

Thunderstorms and sometimes heavy showers were also forecast for Hong Kong on Monday.
