Later on Monday morning, the Police Department acknowledged that it had been notified about the event but said it had been barred from alerting the public. “The flight of a VC-25 aircraft and F-16 fighters this morning was authorized by the F.A.A. for the vicinity of the Statue of Liberty with directives to local authorities not to disclose information about it but to direct any inquiries to the F.A.A. Air Traffic Security Coordinator,” the Police Department said in a statement.

We're talking about a 747 skimming the financial district being chased by f-16's. LGA and Newark traffic comes no where near that.
 
BUT GUYSSS!!!!

IT'S AIR FORCE ONE!!!

HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW?!!?!?!!?

DO YOU NOT HAVE THE BINOCULARVISIONS LIKE ME?!?!?


:rolleyes:

Give me a break.

Whoever thought that this 'photo op' was a good idea should be removed from command...why couldn't this simply be done with Photo Shop? Hollywood can create an entire armageddon on film but the US military can't photo shop a plane by the Statue of Liberty?"
