Joe Biden, his hand on the railing, begins to climb, alone, the steps of the catwalk leading to Air Force One.

After getting up, unassisted, he climbs the last few steps then turns around, salutes and boards the plane.
The 78-year-old US president broke his foot slightly last November while playing with his dog Major.
On Friday, the old injury may have tripped him as he climbed the steps of the notorious Air Force One plane.
The White House spokeswoman referred to the wind, which was blowing very hard at the time.
