Mason, who headed The Charter Co., a conglomerate with extensive holdings in the Middle East. A crowd of 7,500 led by Mayor Hans Tanzler was on hand to greet President Ford when he, his wife, Betty Ford, and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger landed in Air Force One at Jacksonville Naval Air Station. Two USAF VC-137s/VC-135s can be seen behind the Egyptian 707. Photographer not known.
