The Beatles at the airport, Walnut Ridge, Arkansas, September 1964

if there are pictures of paul from this day they have not been made public <\3 when I was in america in 2024 for the first/only/last? time, we drove through walnut ridge. I looked at it on google maps later & saw there was a "beatles park" commemorating that the beatles had stopped there. i dug around & found these pictures & it doesnt seem like anyone has posted them here so I figured I would!
