While participating in the Missouri State Republican Party’s campaign on October 11, 1910, Theodore Roosevelt is invited to fly in a biplane with Archibald Hoxsey as pilot. Accompanied by Herbert S. Hadley, Governor of Missouri, and two men who appear to be Henry W. Kiel, Mayor of St. Louis, and Sheriff Louis Nolte, Roosevelt arrives in a motorcade at Kinloch Aviation Field. A man, who appears to be Hoxsey, inspects the plane. Medium shot of Roosevelt as he enters the passenger seat of the biplane; long shot of plane flying. Roosevelt alights from the plane, joins the waiting crowd, enters an automobile, and drives away in a motorcade. Roosevelt was the first president to experience flight.
