Picture of the then 78-year old Bl. John Paul II (#265) sporting a very dashing blue sombrero for the benefit of the press corp, on the plane, during his flight to Mexico on January 22, 1999. This was his fourth trip to Mexico, having also visited there in 1979, 1990 and 1993. He would make one other trip in 2002.
