Retired United States Army Lieutenant Colonel Gene Tunney Boyer[1] (July 24, 1929 – August 27, 2016) was the chief pilot of Army One, the helicopter transporting the President of the United States, between 1964 and 1975.[2] Boyer was the pilot during President Richard Nixon's last day in office on August 9, 1974, when Nixon famously delivered the V sign just prior to leaving office. He led the restoration of the VH-3A "Sea King" helicopter, tail number 150617, that served as Army One that day.[2] That helicopter is now on permanent display at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum.[2] Boyer also served Presidents Johnson and Ford as a White House pilot. Boyer co-wrote his memoirs, Inside the President’s Helicopter: Reflections of a White House Senior Pilot, with Jackie Boor.
