The Federal Aviation Administration said the government was conducting a photo-op involving two Air Force F-16 jets and a Defense Department version of the 747. It 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."
