Johnson takes oath of office

One of the most famous days in Air Force One history was November 22, 1963, when vice president Lyndon B. Johnson took the oath of office aboard SAM 26000 hours after JFK's assassination in Dallas. The same airplane took Kennedy's body back to DC and, a decade later, Johnson's body home to Texas after his state funeral in the capital. Johnson had also used SAM 26000 to visit US troops in Vietnam.
