Title: Photos of Noel Cook
Post by: Louis Earl on August 24, 2022, 07:55:14 PM
I have a clipping from the Dallas Morning News of November 22, 2011 regarding the effort to determine the location of Air Force One at Love Field when LBJ was sworn in as president.

The article states that Noel Cook, then an FAA employee, "crawled out  onto the roof of the terminal and (took) photos of the presidential plane at both Kennedy's morning arrival and Johnson's afternoon departure."

Can anyone point me to a link where both sets are photos can be found?  TIA

I believe this is what you want. It's the "Noel Cook Collection" at the 6th Floor Museum site.

Well duh.   Thanks for searching a bit more thoroughly than I did.

Sure, that site's search engine is not very good.

As to Cook: I'm not sure it was a very good idea to crawl out on the terminal roof and take photos of AF-1 after the assassination. Before? Okay. After? Let's maybe get a second opinion?

According to the DMN article he says some photos were when AF1 arrived from Fort Worth and some were from after the casket was brought to Love.  Can you tell which is which?   I cannot.

To answer my own question, the cloud cover indicates that the last 3 are from the arrival and the first 3 are from the departure.
