In May of 1984, President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II met together with U.S. and Vatican officials in the Fairbanks International Airport terminal. This marked the first time a U.S. president and pope met outside of the White House or Vatican.

They were both conveniently "stopping over" in Alaska: Reagan was returning from China, while the Pope was on his way TO Asian locations.
