            <description><![CDATA[A&nbsp;VC-25, operated by the US&nbsp;Air Force under charter to Sad Clown Enterprises, Inc, is shown flying over the Statue of Liberty, prior to turning final to fly low over Manhattan to terrify the locals for a photo-op that they told everyone to tell no one about.A broken old-time clock is right twice a day.&nbsp; So it is with me.As I suspected&nbsp;two weeks ago, Louis Caldera has&nbsp;dutifully thrown himself under the bus, resigned his office, taking one for his boss (and if someone had to go for this, Caldera was the one).&nbsp; Would we had more senior people, during the time...]]></description>

                <![CDATA[@Cricket, there are many thing about this incident which make *no* sense. There are quite a few planes in the &quot;Executive Fleet&quot;. This was, by their own admission, not an AF1 flight. It is only AF1, when POTUS is aboard. Each one of the aircraft in the &quot;Executive Fleet&quot; are sent to an FAA Facility for testing. I live within their flight pattern. Feeling a little confused? Well, welcome to the rest of us mere mortals!<br />
<br />
@The Armorer, if or when you get a chance, can you tell me, Is there something in The US Constitution,&nbsp;US&nbsp;Code, UCMJ&nbsp;or Military Doctrine stating, &quot;Thou *shall not* use common sense? I figure you would have a better chance than I, on answering this question.<br />
<br />
The only alternative is a quote by my Dad, &quot;Common sense ain't all that common.&quot;<br />
<br />
To all, have a *great* week,<br />

                Perhaps, Fuzzy, the other photos show panicked crowds fleeing in the streets....?

Exactly.&nbsp; Why did they do that?&nbsp; They're not being anything close to rational.&nbsp; <br />]]>

                <![CDATA[I don't see it as a waste of money.&nbsp; VC-25 and F-16 pilots have to remain current and mission-qualified for a wide array of possibilities.&nbsp; I don't think it is outrageous to combine MQT/CT training with a PR exercise that was 3 months in the offing.&nbsp; The outrageous part is the FAA deciding that municipal authorities could not spread the word.<br />
<br />
Then it's compounded by cancelling a subsequent mission over DC, and only releasing one photo, while the public has already paid for the batch.&nbsp; The proper response to a communication failure isn't to never fly that kind of op again, it's to correct the communication problems and continue with the mission.<br />]]>
