Military conducts air ‘training’ exercise over NYC, sparking a frenzy
DNA Info: Mysterious Manhattan Military Flyover Was Trump Rescue Exercise: Sources
MANHATTAN — A military airplane and two huge helicopters doing loops over Midtown last week were conducting an “emergency relocation” planning mission in case they needed to extract President-elect Donald Trump during an emergency or attack, DNAinfo New York has learned.
The sight of the C-130 search-and-rescue aircraft and two HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopters making passes over the heart of "no-fly" Manhattan for 40 minutes Tuesday, without warning or explanation, unnerved countless New Yorkers and tourists, many of whom took to Twitter and Facebook expressing post-9/11 concerns.
Sources told “On the Inside” that the flyovers were part of an “emergency relocation drill” designed to identify locations, primarily in Central Park, where a chopper could touch down near Trump's home inside Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue and 56th Street, and safely evacuate Trump and others from the city.
“It was the military doing their homework,” one source said.
“They were making plans how to remove him, mapping plans and strategizing,” another source said.

WNU Editor: This was probably just a taste of the commotion that they would cause if they have to conduct an emergency evacuation of any President from Manhattan.

WNU,
I've got some problems with this. I would think that a pretty high up persona in the political food chain (federal) would have to okay this little skit. Some state pols would have to be notified. You don't hear anything info on this.
If I was a reporter I would ask:
Whose idea was this?
Who was the final okaying authority?
When was this presented for the yea or nay decision?
When was the relevant military authorities contacted for feasibility?
In case Michael Moore and friends decide to cross the line and practice what the preach.
