I want to know who was riding in that plane.
Me Too!

“That’s what I was thinking. What a bad photo. Poorly laid out. Poorly balanced.”
No kidding. You can see a reflection in the window. I don’t believe O had the photos taken for this purpose. I’m suspicious.
“apologized for the “distraction” that approving the flyover caused.”
“distraction”? Very interesting. So, they were trying to distract New Yorkers? Distract them from what, or from whom?
I would describe the flyover as more of a terror than a “distraction”.
Is it real?
They have had plenty of time to create one with photoshop and might that explain why they have only produced a single photo?
Who’s idea was this in the first place?
ABSOLUTELY no photographer takes a single photo. My camera takes 6.4 frames per second.
This is another coverup.
Obama has lied to the American people, again.... WHY?
I hate that it appears Lady Liberty is waving to the Fake Force Zero.
bump.
Now that’s scary!
An earlier article, today, I think on Fox, said the 747 had its normal crew with no passengers, and the F-16's had their normal crew plus a military photographer.
That's their story, and they're sticking to it - until they decide to change it.
There is definitely something wrong with this whole story.
The USAF has a lot a talented photographers who do great air to air photography. The released photo looks like a personal photo taken by the F-16 pilot.
A real photo mission would have been choreographed and pre visualized so that they would get exactly the shots they needed. An F-16 is not an ideal photo platform. I’ve seen C-130s and C-17s used for photo work since the photographer can work through the open rear ramp or side paratroop doors for a clear view without any glass.
They could have used a fighter for a photo plane, but the photographer would have been in the back seat of a B or D model F-16.
If you want an idea of the kinds of work the USAF does, check out the photos at http://www.af.mil/photos/ There are some great images.
The image of an f-22 Raptor over Ft. Monroe is a perfect example of how good USAF photography can be.
I would agree. We’ve had posters adorning our walls as well as photos of military aircraft. Nothing like that pic.
Why would the White House release a photo to the press of a shot taken by a pilot, or from an F-16?
This smells like tripe.
What took him so long? Oh yeah, he’s a Democrat. Any actual American would have resigned immediately - although no actual American would have authorized a stunt like this in the first place.
Grr.
