Rear door or JFK's air Force One
At the US Air Force Museum at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton Ohio, you can go on board the original Air Force One. When I was on this plane I kept thinking about what the return trip from Dallas was like for everyone after JFK's assassination, it must have been a surreal scene.. through this door the Presidents casket was removed at Andrews Air Force Base on the night of the 22cnd. In order to remove the coffin they had to cut out a part of the wall on the inside of the aircraft. The repaired saw cut appears on the left side of the interior.
