There’s only one chase plane(F-16) in that video along with AF1/2

If this was for a film, where’s the camera crew on the ground or in the air? Somebody would have noticed them.

from the Wall Street Journal article linked at THE OBAMA FILE LATEST NEWS ENTRY FROM 5/10/09:

The 747-200B aircraft, one of two used as Air Force One, was accompanied by two F-16 fighters from the D.C. Air National Guard, which operates out of Andrews.

“We’ve never been asked to do this before,” said Capt. Byron Coward, a spokesman for the guard unit.

While the F-16s were flown by guard pilots, the photographs were taken by Master Sgt. Andrew N. Dunaway, a specially trained Air Force photographer based with a combat camera squadron at Charleston Air Force Base, S.C.

Only one of the F-16s was involved in the photo shoot; the other peeled off once the 747 reached New York, but both accompanied the plane back to Andrews
