CONTROVERSIAL FLIGHT - The White House released this image on May 8, 2009, showing a VC-25 presidential aircraft that was photographed flying over the Statue of Liberty in New York City by a photographer aboard an F-16 fighter jet. During the April 27 photo opportunity, the aircraft flew as low as 1,000 feet and many New Yorkers believed they were seeing a repeat of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Also on May 8, in the wake of the incident, Louis Caldera, director of the White House Military Office, tendered his resignation. White House photo
