What consensus? Steven is the only person I have seen make this claim
about
Nixon.

And, assuming this story is true, it is not a story at all. It is simply a
recitation of a (single) fact. Without the details of why Nixon rode in a
civilian aircraft while President it is a zero-interest story.

As far as memory goes, I did radio news during the entirety of Nixon's
Presidency, and my interest in aviation is life-long. Had Nixon taken the
alleged ride I probably would remember it.

Finally, I spent about 15 minutes on Google earlier this morning and
couldn't find any reference to the flight.

I was not originally doubting Steven's veracity; I've seen more than one
of
his cryptic posts.

But given a lack of supporting information, I just have to discard his
assertion...


Perhaps you'd have better success if you didn't go out of your way to be a
dickhead.

President Nixon once flew aboard a civil airliner from DC to California when
the oil crunch first hit. It was to show sympathy with the common folk. It
was well-covered by the media . I guess you're not much of a newsman.
