I don’t believe this is an authentic memorandum. There is no way they would be flying at 1000 feet under any circumstance and certainly not for a photo op.

There's always that possibility.

If they want a nicely framed shot of a VC-25 over the Statue of Liberty, or with the New York or Jersey City skylines? Yeah, they could be at 1000-1500 feet, easily. Look at the video that’s been floating around. Sure looks like it’s at least under 2000 feet to me.

Right from the beginning it was reported that they were flying at 1000 ft. If this memo wasn't readily available they got the information from somewhere else.

Incorrect. By the way, ever been to an air show? The FAA routinely grants altitude and airspeed waivers.
