I just wonder: Perhaps when the president's plane is flying, any accompaning jet fighters always have video cameras running. Just in case of a mishap...they record the flight for evidence, etc. This cannot be a photo taken specifically for a photo op.

For a real Photo Op they would have chosen a bright, sunny day. Not this overcast one, dark sky, etc. I think this photo could have been lifted from some video that was running. That is what took so long, and why it does not look professional. I doubt that a professional photo would have been taken from an accompanying jet fighter anyway, but this sure does not look like something a professional would produce. Who would want this picture for PR versus one that could be bright and colorful?

I agree on the pic. It looks horrible...lol.

I actually like to take pics on cloudy days though. Less shadows and glares.

None of this makes sense and I truly believe there is a scandal here. A scandal that we should not allow to drop until there is a better accounting of what happened. What they ‘released’ today should be a further insult to the intelligence of the American people. That’s why the NYT is ‘improving’ the pic. Even they know it is stupid....lol
