9/11 final defense by F16's
F-16 pilot's mission: take down Flight 93
I guess most of us would have done the same thing and hoped by a miracle you could bail out after contact with the airliner but what a story. What would you have done? My choice was a 45 degree bank between the horizontal stabilizer and vertical stabilizer taking off both wings of the F16 but still not spinning much. Thank God those brave passengers overtook the cockpit so they didn't have to do this. They had nothing to lose at this time. Those pilots did.
