McDonald had planned to arrive in Seoul, Korea, in order to attend the ceremonies for the 30th year anniversary of the U.S.-Korea Mutual Defense Treaty. Also atttending the ceremonies were Senator [[Jesse Helms]] of North Carolina, Senator Steven Symms of Idaho and Representative Carroll J. Hubbard Jr. of Kentucky. These three were aboard KAL 015 which flew 15 minutes behind KAL 007. Both planes refueled and took on food at Anchorage, Alaska. Senator Helms had contemplated joining McDonald on KAL 007 for the second leg of the journey but decided against it. McDonald remained asleep in first class the whole time that KAL 007 was at the Anchorage, Alaska airport. He was seated in First Class at seat 02B.
