Biden claims Ronald Reagan sent "Air Force - Helicopter One" to take him to the hospital

President Joe Biden appears to misname the helicopter used by the president. Marine One is the helicopter. Air Force One is the plane. Even I know this and I'm just some dude posting videos on the Internet. It's unclear if this story is true or not, but knowing Joe Biden - there's a good chance it may not be true. You can look it up yourself because I don't care to. Here are Joe Biden's exact words, as posted on the White House website:

Look, before I begin, I have to make an admission and full disclosure: I — I would not be here were it not for my local fire company in Wilmington, Delaware.  They saved my life.  I had a cranial aneurysm.  I wasn’t ex- — it was the middle of a snowstorm.  Not a joke. 

I couldn’t figure out how they were going to — President Reagan was nice enough to send Air Force — Helicopter One to take me down, but it couldn’t fly.  And so, my fire department — my fire department came up, put me in the back, and took me on — in a snow — in a heavy snow on the day I went down to Walter Reed, because that’s where I had to get for this operation.

I got there for a nine-hour operation that saved my life.  I — not a joke.  My firefighters — the guys I grew up with — they saved my life.
