First Flight for a U.S. President

Theodore Roosevelt, the youngest president in America’s history, was also the first to take a flight. On October 11^th, 1910, Theodore Roosevelt arrived at the Kinloch Air Field and boarded an airplane piloted by Arch Hoxsey. This non-secure, primitive device would never be allowed near another U.S. president in this century. Today, however, presidential air travel is so normal that the leader of the free world has his own hi-tech plane, named Air Force One.
