Around 50 family and friends witnessed the last public display of honor for Carter when the motorcade arrived around 5 p.m. at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains. They stood at the front of the vehicle procession as 21 F-18s with the U.S. Navy flew over as the motorcade arrived around 5 p.m. at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains.

Jimmy Carter made a final trip home to Plains, to be buried near the modest house he shared with his wife Rosalynn for more than six decades.
