Dumbasses!

The 2nd video doesn't look like an appology, all the guy answering the question is doing is laughing.

 

[SpeedRacer]

So they used a 747, with two fighter jets trailing to take classified pictures? That **** don't make sense.

 

[Zeek]

What a bunch of crybabies.

It was Air Force One and i dont think it was classified.

The huge aircraft, which functions as Air Force One when the president is aboard, was taking part in a classified, government-sanctioned photo shoot, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

Exactly. But then they go on to say: "Two officials told CNN the White House Military Office was trying to update its file photos of Air Force One."

Why would that be classified? Couldn't they have given folks a heads up?

Yeah no joke. Especially since the it was in New York! Shows that even some(most) of the people that run this country have no common sence.

The military does not make a habit of telling the public everything about a high value object

first of all....why the hell would they use air force one for this?

They were taking new photos of AF1

It isn't the AF1 it is the plane they used when the AF1 is out of survace. It is called AF1 when the prez is in it.

[Zeek]

Yes there are two of them. The VC-25 if dont want to call it AF1.

 

[Conceyted]

Any aircraft carrying the president becomes Air Force 1 when the president boards it. This may not be THE MAIN Air Force 1 but none the less it was one of them.

But what about the Air Force IDB?

The government can do what they want when they want.

It has been 7 1/2 years, why is this such a big deal? New Yorkers portray themselves as tough and all that, but a fly over by an airliner reveals many of them are still in therapy from 2001? WTF? I understand the attack was a big deal, it did change my life, but is it forever that an airliner cant fly over the city? Or is everyone upset because they were not told first? To me it just sounds like a bunch of crybabies.
