Note they flew to Houston where Ferrie, another pilot, was waiting at the nearby ice skating rink glued to the payphone there.
The last minute change of destination was made by Rioja "because of the unexpected assassination". Maybe Rioja was the only one of the two pilots in the know.
With regards Warner being assigned to Love Field for preparations perhaps his assignment ended once AFI and AFII and the SS landed and the motorcade had left? Maybe they lied about staying on the airport site for lunch as they breached their orders? The SS were not good at discipline always
Hey, Lee. Thanks for responding to this thread. Yes ... if the version of events took place
as I suggest the truth would NOT have been divulged. Here again let's look at the Transcripts
and see how just these two Relays could have added up.
Near 12:45 p.m. we have 67's relay ...
Did they head south? To which the Dispatcher answers - Yes.
Just around 1 p.m. we have the following ...
Secret Service -- outer perimeter -- they are being brought back.
Seriously, I didn't pull these relays out of my ass-assination imagination.
They are there in the first completed documentation of the Radio Relays as done
by Warner by December, 1963 and I've shown how they have changed over the years.
Let alone, that the above quote re the SS was on a misplaced page before - a transfer
of persons to the downtown jail.
Possibility? Some, or at least one, SS agent from Love Field - the - outer perimeter --
assisted the police in capturing suspects in a vehicle of some sort. And - Yes - as you stated
the SS would have lied about staying at Love Field if what I'm suggesting did take place.
As, for other possibilities, as proposed by, Steve and Tom, the switching of Channels,
a/o 30's SS station wagon going to the Sheraton a/o 158 possibly being on the other side of town
bringing persons not connected with the assassination to the downtown jail, all innocently
lining up during the same fifteen minutes. I don't know.
