Relating to documents released Friday by the Air Force, the Air Force One NYC Photo shoot debacle is unraveling into negative light. Louis Caldera was canned from the White House even though the docs reveal the mastermind behind the plan was really lead pilot of Air Force One, Col. Scott Turner. Some shocking facts revealed by this include:
Turner telling public affairs to stick with the ‘canned response’ in regards to the WSJ inquiring if the NYPD was informed ahead of time.
Turner trying to add validity to the flight by calling it ‘continuation training’
Anna Carpenter inquiring if the second photo shoot would still continue as planned [after scaring the NYC let's get D.C too!]
Air Force Major Says everyone looks like the 3 stooges passing the buck
“Show folks we were not involved”, a military aide writes
Numerous Officials wishing to come along or get free copies of the photos
Turner blaming the media calling it a “negative thing”
Passive media plan [aka the canned response] was prepared on a ‘need to know basis’
[3 million New Yorkers did not have a need to know a 747 and a jet fighter were going to fly so close to their city]
“we need to accomplish damage control” … “Cc myself and ____ as he works with the 101st folks in an attempt to turn this into a positive”

This Document is huge, over 1000 pages, many blank, lots of white outs.
