History-making presidential jet retires after ceremonial flight
The Boeing 707, famous as the first jet powered Air Force One, ended service with a ceremonial flight at Wright-Patterson AFB. It carried Kennedy's body, hosted Nixon to China, and flew 200 missions to 58 countries as a back up. It will be on public display at the USAF Museum in Dayton next month.
