WH bans all future photo-shoot flyovers with AF1 backup plane

WH official tells Fox these flights have been banned but would not confirm a Wall Street Journal report that a planned flyover on May 5-6 in Washington, with the US Capitol as a backdrop, had been scrubbed.

If I didn’t know better, I might think that this was a probing action to gauge the reactions of the populace of NYC.

It’s a good thing we have John Wayne in the White House...

Uhh, the horse is already out of the barn.

Ow!
I think my retinas are singed!

There's a website that archives “pulled” YouTubes.

Anybody got the link?

Try to get over the Obama Derangement Syndrome. We have no clue whose idea this was. It could just as easily have been some 5 star General’s idea, with Caldera signing off on it assuming the details would be well-considered and that the “mission” would be executed in a sane manner. Frankly, I really doubt Obama even knew about it before it hit the national news. He’s pretty busy with MUCH bigger things these days. He didn’t get to where is at such a tender age, by wasting his time thinking about trivia — which is what a photo mission involving a spare AF1 would normally be.

I imagine they probably have a camera pod on a hardpoint.

Of course the VC-25 has its own countermeasures too.

It appears you are filling in as many if not more hypothetical details as I did, starting off with your total initial conjecture about the "need for training flights"??? Training flights directly over the Manhattan skyline, which are sure to create panic & havoc??? Give me a frikkin break!!! And then you follow up with more total conjecture about some unknown person, be it a 5 star general or not, or Louis Caldera, that would be able to unilaterally order AF One on some photo op mission like this, WITHOUT Obooooombi knowing about it. If this happened during Bush's administration, the media & dimwits would have been outraged in faux paux moral indignation and howling for heads to roll, including Bush for such a stupid, mindless, wasteful stunt.

0booooombi busy with bigger things??? What, like his Wednesday cocktail parties and his weekend golf outing while a possible swine flu epidemic is on the brink??? 0booooombi has yet to take a single thing about the presidency in a serious way.

So far you have given every excuse in the liberal, socialist handbook for yet another example of 0boooooombi's stupiditiy & narcissistic behavior. I am just pointing out the inconsistencies in this whole fiasco, and you accuse me of 0bama Derangement Syndrome, while you are even more guilty of 0bama Apologetic Excuse Syndrome. Get over it yourself and quit creating conjectures out of thin air, and excuses for this commie usurper, piss be upon him.
