One wonders why they felt the need to spend a third of a million
dollars to get these pictures when it could easily have been done for
a few thousands dollars via image processing.

This is someone's idea of how to save money during hard times?

Fred, the government rewards efficiency by increasing their budget. If
you have not spent your budget for certain items---like flyovers or
training---by August, the amount is cut from the next year's budget.
This was simply the federal government playing the federal government
game. They just got caught. But who would have imagined that anyone in
the largest city in the U.S. would notice a 747 at low altitude being
chased/escorted by two fighters?
