Nothing to worry about... it was simply a training flight for 100 underprivileged Muslims who have never been able to afford flight school.
Next week they're going to fulfill their dreams of rappelling up the sides of a nuclear cooling towers.

So I wonder where were all the cameras filming this?

“Your betters will decide whats good for you.”
I am so tired of the government withholding info so as not to panic us. How'd that work out this morning?
Then on the contrary, they look for every opportunity work us into a frenzy over hurricanes, peanut butter, swine flu, global warming, mortgages, etc. And then won't let us know information that could truly help us (like which banks are failing so I don't put my investments there).
And I want to know who the genius is that call always determine within minutes of a catastrophic event that it was NOT an act of terrorism.

I don't know any other way to explain it. Like playing crappy music 24/7 when they had Noriega surrounded.
But this is far, far more insidious.

I know you said that Photo Ops are done all the time; and that appears to be true. But in my lifetime I have never heard of the plane that carries the President (Air Force One or the backup) ever doing this before. So why now?
And...who the heck pays the costs for this plane to do a Photo Op? Gotta cost a pretty penny...for the taxpayers. So much for "tightening our belts," as Obama declared we should do. Guess PR is worth anything, including loss of worker's time, frightening half of New York, creating confusion there and around the country, etc. Obama and his staffers and/or those who approved this ought to pay some price for this disturbance.
Wonder how many mouths those dollars could have fed if Obama had shared the wealth and distributed the money for fuel and plane personnel instead to those people who he promised would get $$$ from his policies. Seems pictures would be worthless to them!

I was just watching CNBC and they were really upset. They said some of the brokerages evacuated, the stock market dropped, and the windows were rattling in the buidings because the plane was flying so low.

Honestly, I want to know who the hell approved this. Their head should be on a pike. It’s one thing to do a “photo op” it’s quite another to fly a large aircraft at low altitute around New York City with out telling anyone what they are doing. And even then it’s a stupid move.
The fact that these idiots have completely forgotten 9/11 is beyond the pale.

I’m saying it wasn’t a pre-planned photo op with air force one at all.

Stupid stunt from the warm and fuzzy we will not torture CiC.

Here is Air Force One over Mount Rushmore:

No population to panic there.
“Gotta cost a pretty penny...for the taxpayers.”
Yes very expensive, but this is usually done coincident with annual training requirements.
