Three 777 airliners landed in succession, the control tower had made great efforts to adjust the schedules of occupied flights to allow them to land together.
But it was worth it, as the passengers on these three planes were all individuals of high status.
Leading the team was NACA Deputy Director Jim Frey, along with 6 senior officials from the space agency, several active astronauts, and representatives from aerospace companies like Rom, Boeing, and Grumman, totaling over a hundred people. Accompanying staff were even more, filling up no less than three airliners.

Word of this visit had been leaked a month in advance, and despite such a significant incident occurring, it still went ahead unchanged, and with no reduction in status, as if nothing had happened at all.
