I remember looking in the skies on 9-11, and for days afterward; it was probably the only time in my life when I would look in the skies and not see a plane.

The was an omen and a sign of the hell that was about to be unleashed on the Islamists, and in the end on us with the backlash and election of Obama.

Let us hope that Baltimore is not a harbinger of a long, bad summer

I remember that too, it was so quiet. I remember tuning in the airport contact and weather frequency on my scanner and heard the announcement that Pittsburgh airport was closed "until further notice" as well as listening into F-16's chase phantoms and news helicopters around until they landed. I remember at 2:30 AM one morning, Mom and I heard 7 or 8 jets fly over the house during this time. Mom and I were spooked until I turned my scanner on and found out they were KC-135 tankers from the 171st Penna Air Nat'l Guard taking off.
