Found this article about Joe Biden using Gordon Pond in Hanalopen State Park, to land Marine One. That being said doesn't Marine One need to come up on 123.0 (DE Coastal CTAF) to announce it's in the airspace?

There is no requirement for aircraft not landing at a facility to self-announce on its CTAF, but for general awareness pilots will monitor it when in the area.

I'd assume there'd be a TFR veil sorrounding the whole area so listening to the local terminal radar controller frequency would be the best bet, likely they will announce to the controller after liftoff
