ST-C206-87-63. President John F. Kennedy Views U.S. Air Force Academy Falcon Mascot
5 June 1963
President John F. Kennedy and Major General Robert H. Warren (both seated in the back of the presidential limousine, Lincoln-Mercury Continental convertible) look at the United States Air Force (USAF) Academy falcon mascot (handled by an unidentified cadet) during a tour of the campus, following commencement exercises at the USAF Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Air Force Aide to the President Brigadier General Godfrey T. McHugh (partially hidden at far left) sits in the front seat of the car; an unidentified photographer and reporter observe from right.
