Flags to Half Mast

In the late 70s, I worked at a Dodge Chrysler Plymouth dealership. The owner needed 3 conversion vans picked up in Georgia and driven back to Hudson, NC. I volunteered and a local highway patrolman had recently got his pilots license and wanted to build his hours, so he flew us for the cost of fuel. First stop was Americus, GA. We dropped off one of our salesmen there to pickup one van, then the other two of us were flying back to Lawrenceville to pickup two more. As we were leaving the airport at Americus, there was a big white twin turboprop plane landing underneath us. The next day, the salesman we left in Americus told us that was Rosalynn Carter landing there as we were leaving.
