Fact About the Day:
On July 12, 1957, President Dwight Eisenhower became the first president to take a ride in a helicopter. Experimental helicopters had been in use since 1947, but it was not until 1957 that a president considered using them for short trips to and from the White House. Most presidential helicopter flights arrive and depart on the White House's south lawn.
