[quote=Anonymous]“At the request of the McCain family, I have also authorized military transportation of Senator McCain's remains from Arizona to Washington, D.C., military pallbearers and band support, and a horse and caisson transport during the service at the United States Naval Academy,” Trump stated.

According to  Arizona Central, Air Force Two has been used to transport other deceased war heroes in the past, including United States Marine and Central Intelligence Agency Operations Officer Johnny Michael Spann, who was the first American to be killed in combat in Afghanistan.

The president authorized the plane's usage to take McCain's casket and his family from Phoenix to Washington, D.C., for the senator to lie in state at the U.S. Capitol on Thursday.
