President Nixon is lost in thought while working in the presidential helicopter, en route from San Clemente to El Toro Marine Base, where he would board Air Force One. January 14, 1971.

After I had completed a photo session with the President in San Clemente he asked me if there was anything more I wanted. I of course stated the obvious: that I would like more opportunities to photograph him. To my surprise I was informed shortly afterwards that I could fly with him and his family and staff on the presidential helicopter from San Clemente to El Toro Marine Base in southern California.
