Flight Cancelled

I said last week that the White House dipstick in charge of the low-flyover of an Air Force One copy (complete with escort jets) over New York City that panicked a healthy chunk of downtown Manhattan needed to have his ass fired.

Today, the nimrod in question, Louis Caldera, resigned.

President Obama has accepted the resignation of Louis Caldera, the director of the White House Military Office responsible for the controversial low-altitude flyover of New York by a 747 plane used as Air Force One, the White House said Friday.

The photo shoot, which President Obama said he was "furious" with, happened on April 27. The image of a low-flying plane accompanied by an F-16 fighter jet sent some New Yorkers into the streets and into a panic -- reminding them of the tragic 9/11 attacks on the city. Building evacuations also took place across the Hudson River in Jersey City, New Jersey.

Bye, Louis.
