Retired Col. James Swindal, who was the pilot for Air Force One that flew the body of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy from Dallas to Washington, died last week at age 88 from complications arising from a broken hip. According to the Washington Post, Swindal flew during World War II and the Berlin Airlift and, in 1960, began flying President-elect Kennedy.
The Air Force budget would grow to $234 billion while Space Force spending would shrink to $26 billion under the White House's yearly ask.
