Air Force One photo op with our taxpayer dollars

It seems there was a photo op of Air Force One (Obama was not onboard) over lower Manhattan this morning. There are a couple of things wrong with this stunt. One is why is it being done i.e. what do they know that we don't? The second in these hard economic times does the Obama Administration really need to conduct "photo ops" with fuel guzzling (taxpayer dollar sucking) planes like 747 aircraft? Especially for "photo ops" over lower Manhattan where low flying aircraft can make citizens nervous. This was a very stupid and costly idea!
