It’s 22 November. The weather was sunny, Air Force One has just arrived to Dallas Texas where President John F Kennedy was suppose to visit.
POTUS Kennedy departed the aircraft and left the airport and carried on his way to the Democratic Party.
At 1230pm local time the world was stunned when shots rang out killing President Kennedy. At 1300L he was pronounced dead.
His body arrived to The airport where now SAM26000 sat and wait as President Kennedy was loaded.
