Tough to forget this bit of Americana. And now, a year later, we're tucked in the safety of Times Square in New York City.

Big Jet Outside Window - 1 yr anniv

Was it a year ago, already?

Airplane 'Photo Op' Causes A Scare

A jumbo jetliner that serves as Air Force One, escorted by military jets, flew over Lower Manhattan Monday morning, frightening office workers and causing evacuations in what turned out to be a publicity operation approved by a unit of the U.S. Air Force.

At around 10 a.m. EDT, the Boeing 747 was seen flying low over the southern tip of Manhattan and at one point was seen circling the Goldman Sachs Tower in nearby Jersey City, N.J.

The larger of the two planes was one of two highly customized Boeing 747-200 series aircraft that serve as Air Force One -- when the Commander-in-Chief is on board. Technically, "Air Force One" is the call sign of any Air Force aircraft carrying the president. But President Barack Obama wasn't aboard the plane

Pay No Attention To That Airliner Out Your Window

Just in time for morning coffee break, there outside your window, a few hundred yards above the nearest tall building, there goes a huge commercial jet heading west, followed by a fighter jet.

Maybe we're hallucinating?

No, there it goes again. A commercial jet flying low over Jersey City skyscrapers, followed by a fighter jet.

Wow, this is unreal. Maybe I should pack my bags and plan a way to get home.

Three is the magic number. The jets pass over head. I should get out my camera in case it happens again.

But no, we're given the word to evacuate the building.
You don't have to tell us twice. We're calmly heading down the fire stairs, out into a surprisingly clear day.

Feels like we've been through this before.
