Richard Nixon flew Air Force One back home after resigning the Presidency (1974).
As Gerald Ford was being sworn in in Washington DC, the plane (over Missouri) was redesignated from Air Force One to "Special Air Mission 27000" - meaning no President was on board.

While retiring in Bergen County, New Jersey, Richard Nixon was famous locally for donning makeup and inviting trick-or-treaters into his homes on Halloween. The kids recieved a can of soda, a candy bar, and a card signed by Richard Nixon himself.
