The NY Daily News is running a great contest today to poke fun of the recent Air Force One flyover of NYC (http://www.nydailynews.com/tech_guide/2009/04/29/2009-04-29_createyourown_nyc_air_force_one_flyover_photo__ we_did.html) (background story (http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2009/04/29/2009-04-29_feds_knew_flyover_might_spark_panic.html)) that scared lots of people and cost at least $60,000. They are trying to make a point about how easy and inexpensive it would have been to just have Photoshopped ($1,000) or used a software like Aviary's image editor (http://www.aviary.com/tools/phoenix) (free) to put Air Force One into scenes.

Here's (http://nydailynews.mycapture.com/mycapture/photos/Album.aspx?EventID=741413&CategoryID=49366) where to upload your images.

So there are contest running in NY to see who could photoshop the plane over the city, saving the gov't $385K. Fox News was asking people to send in their own versions and I was looking here at POTN to see if any threads have been started with members contributing their own version.

I'll move it if there is a thread, but otherwise, here's my version of the plane flying over Paris, Texas. :- )
