WASHINGTON, April 15 (UPI) -- Shepherd One, the airplane carrying Pope Benedict XVI and his entourage, landed at Andrews Air Force Base near Washington, Tuesday under sunny skies.
Waiting to greet him at the base of the stairs on the tarmac was President George Bush and his wife, Laura, and their daughter, Jenna. It was the first time any president greeted a dignitary or head of state at Andrews, CNN reported.
