'Air Force One' photo: Coming this week swamppolitics.com by Mark Silva The White House says it will indeed release a photograph from the $329,000 "photo shoot'' of one of the Air Force jumbo jets that serve as Air Force One when the president is aboard but mainly served to scare a lot of New Yorkers in that recent flyover. President Barack Obama voiced outrage over the incident, as did the mayor of New York, the senior senator from New York and many street-level New Yorkers who didn't know what to make of the presidential aircraft trailed by an F-16 fighter making low arcs over the Hudson River. It was a "photo-op,'' the Federal Aviation Administration explained at the time -- freshening up the photo gallery for Air Force One. Initial indications were that the White House wasn't interested in sharing any of the pictures from the photo-flop, which cost an estimated $329,000 -- largely for the flight of the jumbo jet itself. But today, the White House said both a report on the incident and a photo are forthcoming. "The report, I believe, will be concluded at some point this week,'' White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said today. "We'll release its findings and release a photo.''
