I have always been fascinated with the JFK assassination. I may have been one of the few kids that read the entire Warren Commision report, so its a bit of a hobby with me.

Thanks for posting this.

I think they oversold how good the footage was. I wonder why he sat on the film all those years.

The Sixth Floor Museum is worth visiting just for the view into the Plaza.

This is true.

It was weird seeing it draped in snow the other day.

The video isn't that great, but it's something we haven't seen before, so I enjoyed it. The first time I've seen Air Force One landing there.

My parents saved all the newspapers and Life Magazines from that time and when I saw those a few years later, it ignited in me a fascination with this historic event. Through the years, I've read a bunch of books, and watched documentaries, and visited the plaza a couple of times. I haven't been back there since they created the museum.

The museum is fantastic. It's a must visit.

My father in law was a steward on Air Force One during the Kennedy administration, and was actually giving a tour of the plane to his parents when the word got back to them on the plane that kennedy had been shot.

He is one LONG WINDED man though, so sitting down and listening to his stories are painful, but he's got some doozies about John and Robert Kennedy.

Can you give us the highlights?

Lets just say that Air Force One's nickname from the crew was "Orgy Force One".

Jack had "relations" with Jackies sister on the plane many times. He also would have "working girls" on trips with him.

The day he was assassinated, he had what my Father in law described as huge ace bandages wrapped very tightly around his torso because he had recently tore a muscle, or got a hernia (something like that) from having "relations" with some of these girls. (interestingly enough, I read the exact same thing he told me months later in a book called "The Dark Side of Camelot, which was one of the best books I ever read).

In a nutshell it was chicks, booze, and more chicks. Robert was no better than Jack in that regard. I think he even said something about Marilyn Monroe being snuck on the plane once. (sorry to be so vague on that one, but if you knew my father in law, you'd understand. Sometimes you just have to tune him out as he could tell you a story about walking outside and checking the mail and it would take him 20 minutes to give you the blow by blow)

Father in law also said that Jackie knew about all these things, and would threaten the secret service somehow to give up the stories to her. He said Jackie was everything you thought she'd be, just a really fine woman, and very nice. He still has fond memories of the kids running around the airplane and making them hot ***** sundaes just about every time they flew.

Out of curiosity, did any of you guys see the photos TMZ.com had on their website a few months ago claiming it was JFK on boat filled with a bunch of naked woman?

This guy's legend keeps growing :laugh2: .

It was immediately proven to be from a Playboy photo shoot in 1967.

Ya know that's really interesting. The reason JFK was killed is quite possibly because of that. When JFK is hit with the first shot, he is seen clutching his throat. But then notice he cannot slump over.Had he been able to slump over, he might not have been hit by the next shot. He had a very bad back and often had a brace that was wrapped around him. Now, I have not heard about the tore muscle but I do know he had the brace on the day he was killed.

Correct. And to clarify, it wasn't JFK on the boat.

I could listen to a guy like that for days.

If it was 1967, it couldn't be.

 

[arglebargle]

But you know, if he could've been, he would have been.

Anyone ever see that show "great collectors" or something like that? They had folks on who had huge collections of memorabilia around a central theme. I caught the episode where they had on the guy who had a collection centered on the day Kennedy was assassinated. All kinds of stuff, including the uniform of one of the police officers who escorted the motorcade from one point to another that day.

The reason the guy had the collection in the first place was he said that it was the first time he saw his father cry, on hearing the news.
