This is an airplane from John Kennedy[, Jr.] in coloured pencil, and Jacqueline Kennedy in ballpoint. Dated and placed in unknown hand January 4, 1966 / trip 274 SLC-ORD, Manila coloUred paper, 12x9". The manuscript notation suggests John Jr. drew this picture on a flight from Salt Lake City, Utah, to Chicago’s O’Hare airport, perhaps flight 274. Jackie, John Jr. and Caroline were probably returning from their skiing holiday with the extended Kennedy family in Sun Valley, Idaho that began December 27, 1965. Light creases, folds and soiling, else very good condition. The evening of July 16, 1999, John F. Kennedy, Jr. piloted his wife, Carolyn Bessette, and her sister, Lauren, from New Jersey in a Piper Saratoga II heading for Martha’s Vineyard to attend the wedding of John’s cousin, Rory. JFK, Jr. apparently became disoriented and crashed the airplane into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard, killing all aboard. This one-of-a-kind original drawing would be a particularly poignant addition to any Kennedy collection.
