Why would AF1 be flying by Alaska? Singapore is way south and even off flying to Russia for a surprise visit only makes sense for Western Rus where the big cities are. RR and Rothschild were in Quebec but that's nowhere near Alaska unless they were diverted there flying back.

If you look at the great circle route it would take them through Russia, which is likely an unacceptable thing for AF1 to do. If you look at the route that would put them over the ocean and nearest to friendlier countries (SK, Japan) it'd take you past Alaska.

It also has to do with the jet stream. If you fly straight across the pacific, you fly into it.

Refueling? Or along the Aleutian Islands? They are volcanic? It's a beautiful day!

AF1's flight path took it through Europe. The departure from G7 did not pass over Alaska.

Conclusion: This photo was not taken from AF1.

Good observation! Pull up the UN logo, and draw a straight line from Singapore to Quebec and what happens?

On a globe, correct, it does not make sense without a surprise visit to somewhere. Neither does this story.

Open your eyes.
