Denis Morissette Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 I emailed the Boston Kennedy Library asking them who was aboard AF2 on November 22, 1963, to find out who could have taken the colour photo showing the arrival of the hearse carrying JFK to AF1- see thread entitled "Is this the only photograph taken...". According to the Godfrey McHugh (President John F. Kennedy's Air Force Aide) Papers at the John F. Kennedy Library the following individuals were aboard air craft number 86970 traveling from Dallas, Texas to Andrews Air Force Base on November 22, 1963. The name of Tom Atkins does not appear. He may be the one who took the photograph. The photo can be found on www.corbis.com. Use DALLAS PLANE KENNEDY as keywords to view it. ===================================================== From Godfrey McHugh: Dear Mr. Morissette... Senator Ralph Yarborough Congressman G. Mahon Congressman J. Young Congressman L. Beckworth Congressman H. Gonzales Congressman O. Teague Congressman R. Roberts Congressman J. Wright Mr. Underwood Mr. Ellis Hendrix Sue Vogelsinger Chris Camp John Ready Emory Roberts Donald Lawton William T. McIntyre Donald Barnes According to Death of a President by William Manchester there was no official designation of "Air Force Two." This was a name that Vice President Lyndon Johnson assigned to his aircraft. Thank you for your interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
