On April 27, 2009 Air Force One and a couple fighter escorts buzzed New York and the Statue of Liberty in a botched PR campaign to update.
All appropriate clearances had been obtained and government authorities notified so there would be no surprise.
But nobody thought it important to notify New Yorkers or Mayor Bloomburg. The 911 calls started coming in as soon as the panicked New Yorkers caught a glimpse of the Big Bird flying low over their city. That cost some Big Shots their jobs.
So, you be the judge. Was it worth it? Above is the new photo (yes, that little bitty green thing waayyyy down there is the Statue of Liberty. Below is the old stock photo of Air Force One flying over Mt Rushmore.
