Default Air Force 1 and the Statue of Liberty - The easy way!

Instead of scaring half of Manhattan by flying Air Force One over the statue fo liberty for a photoshoot the white house should just have spend $1000 dollars on photoshop. If they are felling a little short of cash (not surprising as they have just spent $700 billion) they could have used The Gimp!

Anyway I decided to show them the way.

Nice one, exactly my thoughts. But if you want something to be done the stupid way and the expensive way just get the idiots in DC involved.

I can not belive of the tens of thousands of people employed " by the people " not one of them thought " Hey we might scare the living daylights out of the city if we send a Fighter Jet and A Jumbo Jet banking turns around Manhattan"

anway .. great work Fletch !! your 100% correct, none of those " pros " are members of DPS , or they would know better !!

I don't know if I can stop laughing long enough to comment!!! You should present this with a resume to the president. Look at all the money you could save the tax payers! But then I guess if they hired you......that would put all those dumb a$$$$$ out of work!

That's it! Just cut the grand lady in half. I am surprised that this did not actually happen during the fly around. If the president was not in the plane, what did they need an escort fighter for??
