    Low-Flying Plane Strikes Fear In Some New Yorkers

    Very stupid & insensitive thinking, flying the Air Force 1 for photo op! :x

    Military jets flying over Lower Manhattan this morning as part of an authorized military photo shoot frightened many New Yorkers and enraged the mayor, who was never told the event would be occurring.

    The Department of Defense had pre-approved the flight of a presidential Boeing 747 and two F16 military fighter jets, seen above in a photo taken by NY1 Viewer Tatyana Hube, to fly around Staten Island and the Statue of Liberty.

    According to an administration official, the flight was being conducted to update its file photo of the plane near the Statue of Liberty.
