President Barack Obama has accepted the resignation of an official who authorized the presidential aircraft flyover in lower Manhattan last month, CBS 2 has learned.

Louis Caldera, the director of the White House Military Office, handed in his resignation Friday. The news comes as Defense Secretary Robert Gates says the Air Force flyover that sparked a panic was not adequately reviewed and approved by senior service and department officials.

The flyover was arranged as part of a photo opportunity for White House records. The official photo was released along with Caldera's resignation and the official report on the flyover.

I can only find one telling shadow on the island from the flagpole, However I don’t know enough about how the island is situated to determine if the 11 o’clock position of the shadow coincides with the mid morning time frame of the flyover

That does not mean the passengers - if any - are culpable.

The decision to do this came from the top.

Anybody riding on the plane was just a passenger.

Ever flown in a plane? Were you consulted as to the flight plan?

I, for one believe they were giving joy rides to the NY-NJ campaign supporters, ie: Jay-Z, Sean Combs, Brooke Shields, assorted athletes. and other donors.

flight plans are not allowed to pass over major cities like Air Force One did....you do recall they got special premission......freedom of information should include all the information......if they were innocent let them declare that for themselves.......as for me, I want all the information out there.....

Look.
If a truck runs over you, does it matter what the truck was carrying?
No. What matters is that the truck ran over you.
It makes no difference whether it was carrying radishes or radioactives.

Bingo. Someone needs to file a FOI lawsuit and force Obama to give up the flight manifest.

The passengers?

Do you suppose they all collectively flew the plane?

How in the world can passengers on a plane be "guilty" over where the plane goes?

That exactly what it is.

What is more prominent in the photo?

Not Liberty, that's for sure.

This is snapshot quality work. The pilot took this using a cheap handheld point-and-shoot digital camera through the canopy of his aircraft. You don’t spend $375,000 to get such a crappy photograph. You send a professional photographer with professional equipment to take a reasonably good picture.

Compare this to other AF1 beauty shots. It doesn’t even come close.
