I/WE KNOW NOTHING!

Something like Beyonce and J-Zee are staying at The Plaza, lets buzz them. I got the hots for Beyonce. I'll show her who the real gansta is I just got off from threatening those white boys at Chrysler
I am sure that Obama really was furious.
He was furious that a plan, he most likely had prior knowledge about, managed to NOT escape the wrath of the public and NOT escape his hold on certain segments of the media. Those incidents of his staff’s lack of control of the situation is what made him “furious”.
Meanwhile back at the White Lie House in DC:
I/WE KNOW NOTHING!
My question is: Why would they try to hide it???
Because, it's quite possible that this [conclusion, deduction, assumption] is 'a stretch' on your part ...
You're going to need more or you'll lose your arse if your 'go public' with it on [say] Drudge ...
The flight occurred a matter of hours after a memorable Rush riff on the subject of a possible future terrorist attack, "... maybe there's not going to be another terrorist attack, maybe Obama IS the terrorist attack."
They were posted to Africa first, flying P40s and then they had P47s I believe, flying ground attack missions and finally assigned to Europe and flying P51s on bomber escort duty. This is how I remember their history and may be wrong.
That video is a great find.
I don’t understand your conclusion: “If the third plane is just a conventional F-16, then the Lucas theory is out.”
Can’t the 3D IMAX camera be mounted on asn F-16?
Can’t the 3D IMAX camera be mounted on an F-16?
I imagine, yes, but then it wouldn't be conventional. If the camera plane was an F-16 with an external IMAX camera pod, then the Lucas theory is just about proven.
The only thing that needs be explained, is why the DC National Guard F-16 had a red tail? But there is no scandal in that.
The 747-200B aircraft, one of two used as Air Force One, was accompanied by two F-16 fighters from the D.C. Air National Guard, which operates out of Andrews.
"We've never been asked to do this before," said Capt. Byron Coward, a spokesman for the guard unit.
While the F-16s were flown by guard pilots, the photographs were taken by Master Sgt. Andrew N. Dunaway, a specially trained Air Force photographer based with a combat camera squadron at Charleston Air Force Base, S.C.
Only one of the F-16s was involved in the photo shoot; the other peeled off once the 747 reached New York, but both accompanied the plane back to Andrews. According to Vicki Stein, an Air Force spokeswoman, the cost for the fighters, both of which flew nearly two hours, was $28,000.
That's what I thought, too - this kills the final shot. But then I remembered the short attention span of the American public and the fact that this is probably not being discussed at all anywhere but here...and I realized that Bambi and Lucas have nothing to worry about. They can keep the shot. It's all cool.
is this the comment you are referring to?

Chapter 5. Special Flight Handling
Section 1. Presidential Aircraft
Dressing the F-16 as an Alabama Air Guard is puzzling.
I suppose it's possible that Lucas fitted the F-16 with an IMAX that was operated by by Master Sgt. Andrew N. Dunaway, a specially trained Air Force photographer.
That special training could have been on the operation of a wing-mounted IMAX camera?
It would be standard film-making practice to also shoot stills while the movie camera was rolling.
The only thing I know, is that we don't know the whole story.
That’s it.
Those are the regs for the operation of Air Force One aircraft.
The kids can’t have the keyes to the car without daddy knowing about it.

Ha! You have reminded me of a common refrain heard in Germany during WW2:
if The Fuhrer knew what was going on, he would put a stop to it immediately!
My own mother found herself interrogated by the Gestapo for replying;
It is he who gives the orders, there is nothing he does not know!'
From the video, all I saw was AF1 and a solo F-16.
?
Huh? The pic (and video) clearly shows three planes: AF1, F-16 flying close ('Red Tail'), and a third aircraft, reportedly an F-16.
