It certainly is suspicious that they have not fully come clean on this.
They are still choosing to ‘hide’ who was involved.
They have only grudgingly released the pictures and the documents.
They did so in a huge ‘document dump’.
They did not readily disclose that the Alabama Tuskegee plane involved.
They are still being coy as to who the pilots were.
The pictures are more suited for ‘action shots’ than for good stills.
The took lots of shots of AF1’s but.
Most of the shots don’t relate to the statue of liberty.
On the second pass, they only took two photo’s of the statue.
On the third pass, they took a lot of photo’s but mostly at a bad angle and a reasonably high bank.
What was their game?
Well, a great banking shot like that would be excellent for the passengers(?) on AF1 to get a great final view of the Statue of Liberty.
Hmmm.
There were Red Tails in Washington talking to the Air Force academny the week before.
Perhaps they were on the plane.
It seems logical.
A fund raiser for them perhaps?
Given the apparent Red Tail connection, perhaps the folks from the movie were also present?
