747 skims New York skyline.(Inside Track)(Brief article)
Why would Louis Caldera, a member of the White House military office, okay a plan to have the 747 that's used as Air Force One, the president's plane (the president was not on board), fly low over New York's skyline on April 27, followed by a fighter jet, considering New Yorkers' experiences with 9/11? Because image is important.
For half an hour the planes swooped near Manhattan as panicked New Yorkers streamed out or office buildings, fearing a replay of the September 11 attacks. But there wasn't an attack. The 747 and its fighter accompaniment (and a third plane carrying a military photographer) were merely doing laps past the Statue of Liberty so that some publicity photos could be taken.

Even the mayor , didn't know (his office was contacted, but apparently a staffer didn't inform him).
