[Scan-DC] SAM 28000 or SAM 29000 DC flyover soon?

They also could have used Photoshop and saved lots of money.

I agree. All they have to do is let the public know. It's common sense.
Apparently the desire of officials to feel important by keeping information
away from the public trumps common sense. I bet Louis Caldera is gone within
a week.

The problem was the public on the ground didn't know.  You see an
airliner followed by a fighter, and you start to worry. They decided
against a public announcement, so the jet wouldn't be a target for an
attack, but then John Doe doesn't know everything is OK.

What are those flights out of BWI with the jet followed by another
smaller jet or trainer?  I saw that a month after 9/11, and I started
worrying.
