Its not a matter of why it was done. Its a matter of how it was done. It was stupid planning on someones part.
That’s it!
Were this anybody else, I’d say it was preposterous, but this dovetails too perfectly with what we’ve seen these past few months. Yes. It is all for the closing credits of the upcoming Tuskeegee Airmen movie. I’d be happy to put money on it (if I had any money).
The only question is why insufficient notice was given. All it would have taken was public announcement in the local papers, radio and TV the day before and the whole thing would have been a thrilling, rather than terrifying spectacle.
Okay, JimSEA actually beat me to the "future movie" take in #7 by less than a minute, but it smells like Spike Lee to me. ;-)
Since there is no longer a “War on Terror” it was the Dear Leaders FU to America.
Just the Dear Leaders way of scratching his check with his middle finger.
I’m not even sure what to think if this was indeed support for a private, commercial movie venture about the first Black fighter group that ends with a Tuskegee a/c escorting the first Black president...
Given this president, I think it’s a poke in the eye to the Tuskegee legacy. Those men were absolute heroes. I’ve had the opportunity to chat with (Dr.) Roscoe Brown - all of the squadrons in the 340th Flying Training Group are Tuskegee legacy squadrons and I had the privilege of being around when they were reconstituted - and he and the other men faced challenges so much greater than the current occupant that it’s shameful to try to draw a comparison.

Are they the only ones with red tails on their F-16’s??
Red Tails (2009)
The story of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first African-American pilots to fly in a combat squadron during World War II.
For this to be a photography mission, the F-16 would need to be a two seat variant (D or F model). Can anyone confirm that this Red Tail was a two seater? I have not been able to find a good enough photo yet to tell if it was.
This has to be the explanation! The RED TAIL can’t be mistaken and that plane would NEVER be used to “take photographs!” Also, it doesn’t take an hour of buzzing New York City to get a phot of Lady Liberty! It does take ALOT of time to get the required footage for a movie worshipping The First Black Messiah who apparently approved the filming for this movie, giing NOT a dingdong about terrifying the Citizens of Ground Zero! The MUSLIMS around the World must have Loved seeing the Terror that was Caused! Have the takes been screened yet in the White House Theatre??:-(
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! More Explaining better be Forthcoming!
