Hey - can someone with more sophisticated equipment than my phone expand the shot of Biden getting into Marine One? It doesn’t look like he has the mask on while taking the stairs two at a time. https://youtu.be/Pz73H1SGQII

Well, that kind of ruins it for me. There was a post before showing the military not saluting him and so forth arguing the military does not consider him as CiC, but here he was getting a clear salute and is using the President's aircraft...
Can we be sure it was Biden? The scene cut right before he goes into the helicopter. We never see his face after the cut. Plus, he takes the stairs two-at-a-time. Pretty good for an old fart with a bad foot who can't even manage not to fall over his own dog.
I just took a look at everything again. There's a second cut in the video after Biden gets in the helicopter.
Look at the ground around the front wheels of the heli before the second cut. Note that there is something black, like a stake, poked into the ground and one or two of them are raised slightly in a "T" shape. Now, keep your eyes on this after the second cut. None of them are raised in a "T" shape.
It's now beginning to make sense why Biden wears an all-black mask. It's easy to photoshop, as you don't have to worry about matching shadows or folds or anything else. I think they added a mask to the FB photo.
I think the reason you don't see the camera men from the FB photo in the video footage, is the photo was taken between the first and second cuts.
Also, the shot in the middle is a close-up so that you can't see the trees behind the heli to see whether they match up to the final shot.
I agree with this, that was my first thought when I saw it yesterday.
