Great follow up Bobbi, I just heard the cost was around $328,000 and the pictures are not being released to the public. Now I am not sure if that is the total cost (jet fuel, pilots, air crew, groun crew, F-16 pilots and associated crews, maintenance for all aircraft upon return, etc.) or still who else was on the plane? The photos were susposed to be taken from the F-16 escorts but I am sure there was some official on the plane meaning someone very high up knew. One thing I have not heard about is the carbon footprint for his stunt or the President's speech in Iowa several weeks back. I am sure Ron Emanuel knew, if not he is incompitent as Chief of Staff. I still want to see the pictures now that we know how much they cost us.
