Keep. Well I can see four heads, though admittedly one is somewhat obscured. Regardless, I think the EV is really for Air Force One, and I like the imagery of it flying over an iconic American landscape, particularly the one with the giant carved heads of the bestest American presidents. It's also used in several other articles. Would it pass today? Probably not, based on the technical quality, but I as I've said many times, I'm not one for just delisting anything that wouldn't pass today. And for mine, the fact that it's still the lead image in Air Force One eight years after its FP promotion, and is also still prominent in Mount Rushmore and other articles, speaks volumes for its EV. --jjron (talk) 10:31, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delist Not only is it grainy and overexposed, but it's a low-quality scan with tons of dust on it. I love the shot, but it's a poor quality image. -RunningOnBrains^(talk) 20:52, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delist Objective assessment as to quality (per nom/FPC criteria) trumps sentimentality. Plutonium27 (talk) 21:11, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
