NORAD was working banker’s hours on 9-11, and the terrorists even struck during banker’s hours...and they were still hopeless to get anything flying (until the very end of the attack).

Thank goodness Russia, or even The Gambia, didn’t attempt to strike us back then.

Like to know more details, like pilots name and why he was unresponsive. Imagine if his last name is Mohammad. Test?

As far as I know, it’s Homestead Air Reserve Base and they fly F-16’s, not F-15’s. I believe the Air Guard in Jacksonville has the alert mission with F-15’s. Maybe they have a few F-15’s TDY to Homestead, dunno.

Sounds like extreme vetting. Was the subject aircraft painted white, to avoid any claims of racism?

from Homestead, F-16s could intercept something around Palm Beach within 4-5 minutes from take off.

still seems too far away.

wherever POTUS regularly hangs out, there should be at least a few apache gunships stationed within 1-2 minutes to provide air cover and shoot down capability if needed.

He had landed a few hours earlier, but I guess the whole area is being kept pretty clear. I heard the boom... quite loud (I'm in Delray Beach, 20 mins south of Palm Beach).

Interesting, this weekend, for the first time, the FAA sent out this flight restriction thing the other day... to those of us who have our drones registered with the FAA as per the new requirements:

It's all Greek to me!

A couple of F-15 fighter jocks having a good time...legally.

Good for them.

If we had been flying those new F-15 Silent Eagles they wouldn’t have made any noise, or so I hear. LOL
