Plane photo shoot angers New York
When New Yorkers saw a low flying Boeing 747 and F-16 jet circling overhead they feared the worst.
But they needn't have worried, it wasn't another terrorist attack ... it was a presidential photo shoot.
The planes were circling overhead for over 30 minutes in a bid to get a photo of Air Force One with the Statue of Liberty in the background.
President Barack Obama is said to have been furious at hearing that New York officials had not been warned ... that and he quite fancied a aerial tour of the city.

The event was the first part of a PR campaign to get images of the Presidential plane flying over national US monuments.
So if you live near a US monument don't be all like "It's a hijacking, it is, this doesn't feel right" every time you see an airplane.
