American Kamikaze pilots on 9/11??

Here is a heroic story too great not to share. Bottom line, Pre 9/11 there were no armed fighter planes standing by at Andrews AFB. (a situation which has been corrected by Monday morning quarterbacks)
{I know that's Frisco and not DC - so don't write!!!!}

It seems however, that two F-16's (armed with dummy ammo for training) were on the flight line and ready for take off....  so Colonel Marc Sasseville and Lt Heather (Lucky) Penny jumped into the cockpits and took off to intercept the flight said to be coming in from the West.  They were prepared to fly into the Boeing 757 to bring it down -- the Colonel into the cockpit and the Lt into the tail. 

As it turned out -- the passengers on that Flight 93 accomplished the task over a Pennsylvania field. 

Who knew?? I din't!  It's a story worth telling - here is the link to the DailyCaller.com article from which I am unashamedly reporting... it's a great read about American Everudau Heroes!
