Where was she scrambled from? Because Langley has planes armed to the teeth on the ground ready to go at all times, and normally 1 or 2 already armed solely for air combat in the air at all times as well.
I was told by an air force Chief Master Sergeant, who at one point ran his own building at Langley, that we did actually shoot down Flight 93. But maybe there was a miscommunication between the order being given and the passengers acting before we could.
I also know we had planes flying in Afghanistan air space on 9/12.
Benefits of attending churches in military towns, you get to meet some very interesting people.

I believe it was Langley but NORAD was running a training and all of the armed aircraft were over the water. I do not remember now
