This terrifies people, causes the stock-market to drop... and NYPD said federal authorities told them not to disclose the information ahead of time but to direct inquiries to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The FAA called it "an approved military photo op." The White House declined to comment.
IS THIS INSANE ?? The President needs a photo for his CHRISTMAS CARD ??
Edward makes me laugh... NOT PC I know, but still !!
Amusing that "Bush:Biggest Dumbass Ever" and "zaphod73@att.net" thinks there is nothing wrong... YET, if President Bush had done that, he'd have been crucified !!
SERIOUSLY folks... the KEY here is that President Barry "Transparency in Government" Obama had a photo-op that terrorized thousands, and had the FAA prohibit the Police from notifying those who might be effected
We now have NYC Mayor Blumberg on the record as "FURIOUS" with this "stunt"
Sounds like a huge waste of dough to me how much did this one cost us, just plain stupid to me does anyone know we have great CG for this cost effective too.

New line of greeting cards debuts | General Aviation News
Powder Puff Pilot has released a new line of notecard sets for pilots: Not for Navigation Greetings. The initial offering, boxed sets of eight notecards, come in two flavors: Thank You and All Occasion.
Each Not for Navigation Greetings card pairs a graphic that is familiar to pilots — such as an IFR or VFR chart, instrument approach plate, or airport diagram — with plays on aviation terms. A notecard in the Thank You set, for example, has “Thanks” at the bottom of a chart on the front and, on the inside, “Thanks from the bottom of my chart.” Among the designs in the All Occasion set is one with a band-aid on a sectional chart on the front, and the inside says “Sectional healing.” Another says “INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK” on the inside, a phrase recognized by every pilot.
