Did they really think that some terrorist had captured the air force one?

That is a nice pic. I saw another nice pic with AF 1 flying past Mount Rushmore.
They are now claiming the 300 000 dollars they spent would have been spent anyways. If I heard one of my politicians or their staff say something like that, I would be furious.

No but Air force one flying over The Statue of Liberty looks nice and there is no refunds so enjoy it for what it is.

nobody could tell that it was air force one - from the ground it looks like a big passenger jet if you can't make out the markings on it

Yeah, you're right! Someone's head had to roll. Sounds like Obama has a shit-load more work to do. WTF is the White House Military Office, anyway? I mean, you have the Sec. of Defense, can't he appoint a major to handle that shit, and save some bucks? Too many gd offices and staffs, none of whom know what the others are doing.
