Notes: In the morning of 22 August 1965 The Beatles held a press conference at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, before flying to Portland, Oregon.

Shortly before their arrival in Portland one of the four engines on their Lockheed Electra aeroplane caught fire. John Lennon
was frightened enough to quickly write a few messages which he enclosed in a film canister for safety. Fortunately for all, the
plane landed without further incident, and a relieved Lennon was heard to shout: "Beatles, women and children first!"

A local TV news crew were on hand to film their arrival at the airport.This footage was included in the documentary Beatles In Portland.
