#1 Obviously it is someone's job at the White House to know exactly where and what the President's transportation situation is at all times.

#3 suddenly necessary to update public relations photographs for Air Force One.

Sorry, but this cover story is weaker than snail piss. This was either a administration publicity film shoot or a campaign add. I'm still waiting for some 06-09 USAF officer to get balls and roger up to what really took place, what the Air Tasking Order (ATO) actaully said.

#4 Other than the fact that the plane flew low over Manhattan, without anybody alerting the public, I have no real problem with this flight. Fighter and tanker pilots do need to get in a certain number of flight hours every month in order to maintain their proficiency. If, in fact, the crews were simply on a routine training mission, there really was no extra cost to the government.

#5 I just wrote to the CO of the 187th FW out of Montgomery, AL. We'll see if he answers, hands me off to his PAO, or hits delete.
