An easy one to start with...

What word links: David Harris-Jones, a Hindu Goddess, handle with care, Hungarian rhapsodies, hire-purchase, Microsoft Windows, Cassius Clay, the first note of the tonic solfa scale, and footwear?

Nixon I believe was on board as president but wasn't when he landed as another had been sworn in. Air Force One is any plane the president is in at the time.

Ford was sworn in when Nixon was in the air. Therefore, when it landed, the plane was no longer Air Force One.

That's Gerald, not Harrison, who swapped planes in the air.
