By now, you’re probably aware of the blunder in which a VC-25 (that’s a souped-up Boeing 747) that sometimes serves as Air Force One, the president’s plane, did a number of&#160; low fly-bys over New York City while followed by a fighter plane, causing a fair bit of panic in the city.

<p>By now, you’re probably aware of the blunder in which a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_VC-25">VC-25</a> (that’s a souped-up Boeing 747) that sometimes serves as Air Force One, the president’s plane, did a number of&#160; low fly-bys over New York City while followed by a fighter plane, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/28/nyregion/28plane.html?em">causing a fair bit of panic in the city</a>. And for what? A <em>photo op?</em></p>
<p>(For a change of pace, let me point you to <a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2009/04/27/smart-power-pentagon-freaks-out-new-york-with-low-altitude-fly-by/">how the story is being covered in Hot Air</a><em></em>, one of the premier sites in the right-wing blogosphere to show you how it’s playing out there.)</p>
<p>While the pro-Obama camp see this as a <a href="http://www.facepalm.org/">facepalm</a> moment – it’s not just a PR problem for evoking 9/11, but also for the expense as well as the waste of fuel since planes, especially big ones, use lots of juice at low altitudes &#8212; and the anti-Obama camp call this a harbinger of the time when he hands over America to its enemies, I choose to view this as a remix opportunity. If you’ve got the time and the video editing software, this is the perfect opportunity to remix <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW23SS0zEnY">the “buzz the tower” scene from <em>Top Gun</em></a>:</p>
