**** poor leaders seem to never understand that a delegated decision still bears their full responsibilty and will blame any bad decisions on their staff. I wonder if the military guy has orders and already shipped out to Antarctica or some other non desirable assingment yet.

Another appointee bites the dust....

US Official Resigns Over Air Force One Flyover By VOA News
08 May 2009
The White House official who took responsibility for a security scare in New York City last month has resigned.
Louis Caldera, head of the White House Military Office, gave notice on Friday, nearly two weeks after the presidential plane flew at low altitude over New York City for a photo session. A White House statement said the resignation has been accepted.
A review of the incident was released Friday along with a picture of the Boeing 747 flying above the Statue of Liberty. The review said senior presidential aides had not been informed of the flyover.
The April 27 incident prompted evacuations in Manhattan, one of the scenes of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. Hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Center's twin towers, killing thousands.
The flyover cost taxpayers more than $300,000.

Hum... Would it not have been cheaper to say contract Industrial Lights & Magic (Star Wars Special Effects Company) to photoshop these images just like they do in the movies?

*sigh*

They got a nice pic though.

And it only cost us taxpayers $329,000.00

Your average jr high student could have photoshopped that or even better for slightly less $$

I don't know. It doesn't look professional to me The bottom right corner is blocked by the aircraft the picture is taken from and it looks like there is a glare image above the cockpit of AF1. I would expect much more for my money.

Don't worry, they'll fix the glare and shadow with photoshop.
