Actually, I was up and watching Fox News. The TV I had in the bedroom
then was my alarm clock. They were reporting about the first plane to hit.
While they were speculating on why, the camera panned overhead just in

When there was a need. Those boys were in the air within minutes of the
2nd hit.

Yeup. But they were in persuit of the one that crashed in Pennsylvania.
They also escorted Air One from LA or MS to Washington.
