They probably could have paid a few of us here a couple hundred dollars and we could have photoshopped a pic that looks just as good and just as real. And without all the NYC resident panic!

That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw the pic. In fact, you can tell that some PS has already taken place on the pic.

WASHINGTON - A top White House aide resigned Friday for his role in Air Force One's $328,835 photo-op flyover above New York City that sparked panic and flashbacks to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Louis Caldera said the controversy had made it impossible for him to effectively lead the White House Military Office. "Moreover, it has become a distraction in the important work you are doing as president," Caldera said in his resignation letter to President Barack Obama.
The sight of the huge passenger jet and an F-16 fighter plane flying past the Statue of Liberty and the lower Manhattan financial district sent panicked office workers streaming into the streets on April 27. Obama said it would not happen again.

What are your (libertarian) thoughts about possibly losing Joe the Plumber?

Because it's not like the Bush Administration ever wasted untold dollars in military hardware to stage photo ops...

Let's not forget this photo op from Jackson Square in New Orleans following Katrina...
The Bush Administration spent tens of thousands of dollars to truck in generators and lights to stage this photo op, since New Orleans had no power, and then took all of that equipment with them when they left, leaving New Orleans in the dark once again.
