Yeah, not exactly a bunch of winners there. Then again, they all beat that "Photo Shop" mess that they kept showing on TV.

Those are bad copies of copies. The one with the jet and the statue of liberty actually turned out quite well. Sadly, for some reason they won't give us copies of them...

Well, couple of things:
#1 - It's from Fox News. Anything they might release is suspect as to accuracy or fairness, especially when it relates to the current administration.
#2 - That having been said, they aren't very good, are they?
#3 - I'd like to know who books the photographers, so that I can send them my business card.

I'm pretty disappointed in the photos. They must not have used one of their better photogs for some reason. Military in-flight photos are usually pretty good, at least when you get to the level of photographing AF One, the Thunderbirds or Blue Angels.

Funny thing is, the MSNBC photo has obviously been edited, and seems to have been HDR'd...

I believe image #73 is the one that was printed and is hanging in the complex. But it looks alot better than this.
