I thought everybody knew that?

Try to find the Original, Uncut footage of the Johnsons arrival in Texas after the assasination.
I watched it live, when the door opened and LBJ & Ladybird started down the steps Ladybird was grinning like a cat that just swallowed the Canary, LBJ elbowed her in the ribs to drop the smile.
Later broadcast begin only after Ladybird dropped the smile.

Also look into the flight LBJ was on when Kennedy was shot, LBJ redirected it to Texas before any word of the assasination was known on board.
He knew, and wanted to get to the scene ASAP.

Also look into the flight LBJ was on when Kennedy was shot, LBJ redirected it to Texas before any word of the assasination was known on board. He knew, and wanted to get to the scene ASAP.

Huh? Johnson was on the trip with Kennedy. They both slept at the Texas Hotel in Ft. Worth the night before and flew the extrememly short distance to Love Field together - JFK in Air Force One, LBJ in Air Force Two. Johnson was in the motorcade in a car behind Kennedy's. He did not need to change his flight plans to be there because he was already there. He had something of a front row seat before a black Secret Service agent climbed on top of him.

If there was any controversy on his flying, it was his insistance that he and JFK's body both were flown back to Washington on Air Force One as soon as possible. But first, he wanted to be sworn in and that is the famous photo you see of him, Judge Hughes and the blood-spattered Jackie Kennedy with LBJ's hand raised.

There is an interesting point to this photo. Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry, rather than coordinating the hunt for the killer(s) or securing the police facilities for the presumed flood of witnesses and suspects, was photographed on Air Force One with LBJ, witnessing the swearing in. Some believe that Curry was not out trying to find the gunmen because he already knew who the real killer was.

<> HUH? LBJ was in the same parade with Kennedy in another car. In fact, some witnesses said he was seen putting his fingers in his ears just before the shot.
