    here is the "Air Force One" gallery from the USAF's own website:

    http://www.af.mil/photos/index.asp?galleryID=55

    the latest VC-25 pictures aren't included. shame... :?
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    At least there is a more creative photo of the VC-25 out there:

    The shot over Mt Rushmore is also in video, one of the earlier AF1 documentaries filmed in the first Pres Bush era.

    The Post's graphics dept. did a nice job cleaning it up. Glad someone did.

    Anyone find a hi-res version of the photo? I want it for wallpaper for my work PC.

    Pretty sad that the Post fixed something that the US military did a lousy job of.

    I honestly think they did a decent job.
    At the end of the day, none of us could pull it off.


    Looking at that CAP photo though, could you imagine if AF1 flew that low? The people in Battery park would have been jumping in the water! :lol:
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    You know if they informed the city they may very well could have pulled off something like that and got a proper photo.
