What's Next
Next, he'll go back into town for the papal residence. He won't be there long. At 7 he'll take a car to a heliport on Wall Street in New York.
At 7:20, he gets to the helicopter and 10 minutes later leaves for JFK by helicopter. In D.C., the cab drivers were very supportive of the Pope taking helicopter trips and not tying up traffic.
It will take him a half hour, even by helicopter, to get to JFK. There will be a farewell ceremony at JFK, but a brief one. Shepherd one takes off at 8:30 for Rome.
In DC the Pope DID travel by car.
