That was my guess a week ago.
The 'photo ops' were mainly to get crowd reaction, not shots of the plane.
That is why the White House only released one (likely photoshopped) photo of it.
I think the reason only one photo was released, will be because the “subject” of most of the photos or film will be AF1 flying in close formation with the “Red Tail” jet.
That was the entire point of the flyover, IMHO. Probably to put at the end of the “Red Tails” movie.
