Transportation at the time, Sam Skinner, showed up to visit UND. He toured
the tower so we got to meet. Then he went up in one of UND's CAP 10
aerobatic aircraft. His callsign was Transport 1,

It is touches like this that give many of us a low-grade, chronic,
enduring contempt for government and its people.

I guess it's safe to assume that you have no real interest in communicating,
and that you have no facts to back up your Nixon assertion.

I see this lack frequently in your posts, or I wouldn't mention it.


I think the problem is on your end.



Remember the old journalist's mantra: Who, What, When, How, Were?

You only gave us "Nixon" and "non-military plane"...


Who: Nixon

What: Fly on something other than a military aircraft

When: During the Nixon administration

How: The same way other aircraft fly

We ?

But he has consensus, Bill; he don't need no stinkin' facts.

Steven's memory is better than most peoples references.

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.

It was a flight on American Airlines as a PR stunt. That is all I could
dig up.

And... AF1 flew directly behind the aircraft for the entire trip. I did
see the call sign for that flight, but I can not remember what it said.

Why didn't you simply include that information in your originals post? None
of this would have become an issue.
