caption_attribution_description: English: BOLLING AIR FORCE BASE, D.C. -- Wearing protective goggles to shield his eye against possible flying debris from propeller backwash, Staff Sgt. Walter Feno stands by to guide traffic April 14 as Marine helicopters land here. Sergeant Feno is assigned to the 11th Security Forces Squadron.
context_page_description: Heliports in Washington, D.C., include 11 heliports within the borders of District of Columbia, the federal federal capital district of the United States. As of 2002, there are also 32 others in the Washington metropolitan area. Of this total, 22 belong to hospitals, 12 to other corporations or private owners, 10 government, three military, and one public.
  Because DC's territory is geographically small and densely populated, no active facilities for traditional fixed-wing aircraft exists within its borders. The district has not had any such facilities since 1962, when NAS Anacostia & Bolling AFB demolished their runways and abolished their seaplane base on the Potomac River. Airports associated with DC are instead located nearby in Virginia or Maryland.
  The White House does not have its own heliport, but uses the South Lawn, with portable communications equipment brought out for Marine One arrivals and departures.
