Who in their right mind could actually think this was a good idea? It might have even been easier and cheaper to just photoshop the pics they wanted. Seriously, fighter jet flight time isn't cheap. I'm surprised we haven't heard of a 9/11 survivor having a heart attack and dying on the spot from the shock of seeing something like this. I heard Obama flipped out when he heard about this one.

At 10:39am today I received a text message and email from the City of New York’s NotifyNYC alert program saying that: “Planes observed flying over Lower Manhattan were part of an approved federal activity.” I happened to be at a hospital clinic at that moment so I had no idea what that message meant. A little later, I heard that there had been a 747 aircraft flying with two fighter jets near downtown Manhattan as part of a Department of Defense photo shoot. City officials knew about it in advance.
