| 0:00.0 | Welcome to JFK in The Enduring Secret. |

| 0:19.1 | Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the podcast. |
| 0:22.6 | Today's episode is episode 306, and we continue to wind down the Tippett series with a few small |
| 0:29.6 | popery-like stories left to tell. The Tippett series is like a bond that keeps on paying interest. |

| 0:47.4 | I'll just say there are a few more coupons to clip here in this series. These last few episodes may be short strokes, but do not let them fool you. They have some of the most intriguing |

| 2:16.5 | Colorado. Vincent, who had served in the Air Force since 1956 and had worked in administrative and communications type roles, boarded what he |
| 2:20.3 | described as an unmarked C-54 cargo plane, a military version of the DC-4, and it was bound for Lowry |
| 2:27.8 | Air Force Base near Denver, about 50 miles from his destination. Initially, the only people on board were Vincent and two crew |
| 2:36.3 | members, a pilot and a co-pilot. The plane took off around noon. Shortly after takeoff, |
