Flying from IAD to LAX on United #55 with Pat and daughter Tricia, December 26, 1973, fighting Watergate scandal, President Nixon posed with flight crew and shook hands in coach—privately Nixon suspected (correctly) that he had just spent his last Christmas in White House.

He didn't resign until 1974. He was still the President. Seems strange.
