28 April 2009 - The White House has apologised after a low-level flight by a presidential jet and a fighter plane sparked panic among New York City office workers. The half-hour flight triggered the evacuation of a number of office buildings in the city. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he was "furious" about the incident, criticising those responsible for failing to warn the public.
Panic and anxiety do not discriminate by race, creed or financial status, but are more common in women than men and, for reasons of biology, life events, brain chemistry or personality, usually present in one's teens to early 30s.

Watch as Heidi's brother complety re-kits his brand new fully-loaded FiberClassics P-51 because he forgot to do a proper flight control check after he had installed new aileron servos the week before in Alpnach, Switzerland. Both he and his helper did see that all of the controls were moving, just not in the proper direction. This beautiful 1/4 scale Mustang weighed approx. 20kgs, and was powered by a 3W-75cc engine swinging a 26 x 12 Menz propeller. Also installed were retracts,flaps,drop tanks, opening canopy, fully scale detailed cockpit and pilot. You will notice the bird start to roll to the right, so he corrects with left stick. This makes it roll even more to the right until it is on its back and left wing low. He then gives it some right stick input and it now does a nice roll to the left and auggers in. Listen to the delayed "Kerrr-splat!!!" sound that it makes. Sick. Too bad his crewchief didn't catch the error. A good TOC 3D pilot like Bill Hempel might have been able to roll his way up to altitude using elevator and rudder. Not me. Try it on your RC simulator sometime.*** A similar incident happened to a Lufthansa A320 in Frankfurt a few years back. The captains side-stick was replaced and due to some Airbus directives and missed wiring change mods at the blackbox connector, the left/right command also got reversed! Maintainance released the aircraft to service but missed the misstake. And as for the crew, the before takeoff checklist only verifies that each "side" (capts. side and copilots side) was working. The captain was doing the takeoff and just after liftoff the aircraft started to roll to the left, then more to the left until finally the co-pilot hit the command override button (also known as the panic button) on his sidestick controller and saved what would have been a disaster. The flight data recorder estimates showed that there was only about 50cm between the wing and the ground. "Nice recovery Herr Flieggermann!"
An airliner and fighter jet zoomed past the lower Manhattan skyline in a flash Monday morning. But the flyover was nothing but a photo op, apparently one of a series of flights to get pictures of the plane in front of national landmarks. (April 27)

A jumbo jet being chased by a F-16 fighter jets buzzed Lower Manhattan this morning, panicking New Yorkers, many of whom were forced to evacuate their office buildings. It was not a terrorist attack, however, but a photo opportunity for Air Force One, sources told the Post. President Obama was in Washington at the time, but the low-flying 747 circling the Statue of Liberty was one of the planes used as Air Force One, sources said. The NYPD and the city were notified of the planned flight, but did not share that information with Mayor Bloomberg and other New Yorkers, many of whom said they were terrified. The head of the White House Military Office apologized for the flight over New York. Hours after the incident, a furious Bloomberg called the photo-op "insensitive." "First thing is I'm annoyed - furious is a better word - that I wasn't told," he said. "Why the Defense Department wanted to do a photo op right around the site of the World Trade Center catastrophe defies imagination. Poor judgment would be a nice ways to phrase." Bloomberg said federal officials notified the NYPD and another city official, whom he declined to identify, of the flight plan. "Had I known about it I would have called them right away and asked them not to," he said. "The good news is it was nothing more than an ill considered, badly conceived, insensitive photo op - with the taxpayers' money." Dominick Caglioti, who works at the Mercantile Exchange, thought the worst as he saw the jets hurtle toward his window just after 10:30 a.m. After learning it was all a photo op, he was furious. "It's so stupid because they tell you about every fire drill, but they didn't tell us about this," he said. The planes flew over the Verrazano Bridge, buzzed the left ear Lady Liberty and then continued up the Hudson past Jersey City and then circling back toward Staten Island, federal sources told the Post. Thousands flooded the streets downtown as buildings called evacuations. "There is situation outside. We don't have any further information," went one
NEW YORK (April 27) - A Boeing 747 used by the president was escorted over lower Manhattan by an Air Force fighter jet Monday as part of a government photo opportunity and training mission, causing a brief panic among office workers near ground zero. Workers from several office buildings poured out onto the streets before they learned that the flights were innocuous. John Leitner, a floor trader at the New York Mercantile Exchange Building, said about 1,000 people "went into a total panic" and ran out of the building around 10 a.m. after seeing the planes whiz by their building, near the World Trade Center site. "Apparently, nobody in the building was informed that this was going to happen," he said. "Everyone panicked, as you can certainly understand." He said the workers gathered along the Hudson River until a security officer with a bullhorn told them it was a planned exercise. "The FAA and the presidential airlift group conducted an aerial photo mission" and training for crew members of the president's flying fleet, said Air Force spokeswoman Capt. Angela Webb. She declined to release any other information about the nature of the photos being taken. She said the flight involved a VC-25, a Defense Department version of the 747 that is called Air Force One when the president is aboard, and an Air Force F-16 jet fighter. They flew over the upper New York Bay and Newark Bay between 10 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. The Federal Aviation Administration said it notified city law enforcement about the mission. The NYPD said the flight "was authorized by the FAA for the vicinity of the Statue of Liberty, with directives to local authorities not to disclose information about it, but to direct all inquiries to the FAA." Among the workers who left their buildings were some at The Wall Street Journal. Kathleen Seagriff, a staff assistant in the news rooms, said workers heard the roar of the planes and then saw them from their windows. "They went down the Hudson, turned around and came back by the building," she said. "It was a scar

Video of Air Force Airplane "Photo-Op" That Caused Panic in New York City and Jersey City
http://www.rumproast.com/index.php/site/comments/everything_changed_after_4_27/ 4/27/09 -- The Defense Department conducted the photo opportunity, which involved two F-16s escorting the plane, a Boeing 747, over Battery Park City and up the Hudson River. The large plane is the military version of the 747. NEW YORK (WABC) -- A photo shoot involving an Air Force aircraft and two fighter jets led to hundreds of frightened calls from residents and workers in Lower Manhattan Monday. The Defense Department conducted the photo opportunity, which involved two F-16s escorting the plane, a Boeing 747, over Battery Park City and up the Hudson River. "In coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Presidential Airlift Group conducted a aerial photo mission in the New York City area on 27 Apr 2009. This mission, involving the VC-25 and an F-16, was conducted in conjunction with normally scheduled continuation training for assigned aircrew members. This mission was coordinated for the Upper New York Bay, south of the Holland Tunnel and in the Newark Bay north of the Staten Island Expressway between the hours of 1000L and 1030L." The maneuver, part of a photo op, was coordinated in advance with the FAA and state and local officials. The Defense Department "coordinated the flight with FAA," Peters said, "and we made the notifications to the city of New York, as well as the 311 and 911 centers, the NYPD, New Jersey State Police and various operations centers in the New York area." City officials were notified, but not the general public. Many frightened residents and workers in Lower Manhattan called authorities asking for information, and some buildings even self evacuated. The planes flew over Lower Manhattan and in the vicinity of the Statue of Liberty during the 30-minute flight, between 10 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he is furious that the federal government flew a presidential Boeing 747 and a fighter jet near ground zero part of a government photo opportunity and training mission. The incident on Monday caused a brief panic among workers, who said they were not notified in advance. Bloomberg said the flyover so near the World Trade Center site showed "poor judgment" and was insensitive. He said he is furious that the New York Police Department and another city agency were notified last week, but did not tell him. If he had known, Bloomberg said, he would have tried to stop it. The Federal Aviation Administration and the Air Force say the flight was a government photo opportunity and training mission involving a presidential plane. The White House staffer who organized the photo session apologized, but not before locals and an influential senator raised their voices. Worried workers from several office buildings poured out onto the streets before they learned that the flights were harmless. John Leitner, a floor trader at the New York Mercantile Exchange Building, said about 1,000 people "went into a total panic" and ran out of the building around 10 a.m. after seeing the planes whiz by their building, near the World Trade Center site. "Apparently, nobody in the building was informed that this was going to happen," he said. "Everyone panicked, as you can certainly understand."

Air Force One over Manhattan New York City VC-25 low pass with F-16s

G. SULZBERGER AND MATTHEW L. WALD Updated, 5:52 p.m. | An Air Force One lookalike, the backup plane for the one regularly used by the president, flew low over parts of New York and New Jersey on Monday morning, accompanied by two F-16 fighters, so Air Force photographers could take pictures high above the New York harbor. But the exercise — conducted without any notification to the public — caused momentary panic in some quarters and led to the evacuation of several buildings in Lower Manhattan and Jersey City. By the afternoon, the situation had turned into a political fuse box, with Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg saying that he was furious that he had not been told in advance about the flyover. At 4:39 p.m. Monday, the White House issued an apology for the flyover. Louis E. Caldera, director of the White House Military Office, who served in the Clinton administration as secretary of the Army, said in a statement: Last week, I approved a mission over New York. I take responsibility for that decision. While federal authorities took the proper steps to notify state and local authorities in New York and New Jersey, its clear that the mission created confusion and disruption. I apologize and take responsibility for any distress that flight caused. The mission on Monday, officials said, was set up to create an iconic shot of Air Force One, similar to one that was taken in recent years over the Grand Canyon. When President Obama learned of the episode on Monday afternoon, aides said, he, too, was furious. Senior administration officials conveyed the presidents anger in a meeting with Mr. Caldera on Monday afternoon. A senior administration official said that an F.A.A. official notified Mayor Bloombergs office last week about the flyover. She said that Marc Mugnos, the director of operations in the office of citywide event co
President Barack Obama ordered an internal review of Monday's low-flying photo op over the Statue of Liberty. Federal officials knew that sending two fighter jets and a 747 from the presidential fleet to buzz ground zero and Lady Liberty might set off nightmarish fears of a 9/11 replay, but they still ordered the photo-op kept secret from the public. In a memo, the Federal Aviation Administration's James Johnston said the agency was aware of "the possibility of public concern regarding DOD (Department of Defense) aircraft flying at low altitudes" in an around New York City. But they demanded total secrecy from the NYPD, the Secret Service, the FBI and even the mayor's office and threatened federal sanctions if the secret got out. What are your feelings on federal officials demanding the NYC flyover be kept secret by the NYPD and the mayor's office? The flyover -- apparently ordered by the White House Office of Military Affairs so it would have souvenir photos of Air Force One with the Statue of Liberty in the background -- had President Obama seeing red. He ordered a probe and apologized. "It was a mistake. It will never happen again," President Obama said. The cost of the frivolous flight was about $60,000 an hour and that was just for the presidential aircraft. That doesn't include the cost of the two F-16s that came along. The flight by the VC-25, a modified Boeing Co. 747, and two F-16 fighter jets cost $328,835, Air Force spokeswoman Vicki Stein said. That includes $300,658 for the larger plane, which flew a three-hour mission, and about $28,178 for the F-16 jets, which flew 1.8 hours each, Stein said in an e-mailed statement. The NYPD was so upset about the demand for secrecy that Police Commissioner Ray Kelly vowed never to follow such a directive again and he accused the feds of inciting fears of a 9/11 replay. "Did it show an insensitivity to the psychic wounds New York City has after 9/11? Absolutely. No questions about it. It was quite insensitive," Kelly said. The mayoral aide who neglected to tell M
