That's assuming of course all they were after was few pictures of AF 1 over New York...... I’m assuming Mr. Caldera et al have never heard of Photoshop?

They are normally single-seaters, unless somebody decided to take a two-seat bird, so as to accommodate the combat photographer. Otherwise I can't see the quality of the images from this run being all that terrific. Anybody able to confirm what 16-mod was escorting the VC-25?

I doubt the folks behind the Air Force One buzz job will have an issue. The Cessna pilot will be paying a higher price. While it sounds like an "honest mistake", it creates another black eye for GA. The pilot should have been cross checking his sectional when VFR through that area.
