JFK, Dallas and Aircraft
Here is some video of the arrival of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas. The video has great shots of various aircraft arriving including old Braniff 707-227s, Pan Am 707 press aircraft and others. The arrival of Air Force 1 and 2 are well worth the watch alone. At one point, an announcer refers to LBJ’s Air Force 2 as a “707 Astrojet” which had to have thrilled American Airlines.

Excellent. Thanks so much. Notice the BI pilots had all turned their aircraft sideways on the tarmac at the approach end of 31L so everyone could see the President land.
