I'm sure everybody has heard of the Air Force "photo-op" over New York City, here is a video of the fly-over

This was so stupid as to almost defy belief. The Air Force did tell the Police of the flight, but asked them to keep it secret. They supposedly did contact local officials, but the Mayor did not know of the flight. You can imagine the terror many thousands of people felt when they saw this large plane approaching at about the same altitude as the planes flew on 9/11.
This plane was part of the "Presidential Airlift Group" but nobody in the White House knew a thing about it. That can't be good anyway you look at it, because the President really should be notified if a large plane is going to fly low over New York City for a photo shoot, especially if it is one of the planes used to escort the President or his staff around.
