Honor guard, cannon as former President Bush begins last trip to Washington

Cannons fired in tribute at a Texas Air National Guard base outside Houston where former President George H.W. Bush's flag-draped casket was loaded onto the presidential jet, called “Special Air Mission 41”. His body will be flown to Joint Base Andrews outside of Washington. His son, former President George H.W. Bush, was set to join family, friends and aides of the former executive for the flight.

The deceased Bush will lie in state at the U.S.
