I remember when LBJ visited the then Air Force 1 (a VC-137) landed at Essendon.
Whilst young at the time I remember reading in the Herald(or the Sun, or the Age) that AF-1 was the largest aircraft to have landed at Essendon up to that time.
It is likely there were one or more C-141 supporting that trip but they may have landed at Laverton.
That was October 1966 with the same scene repeated just before Christmas 1967
Cheers
