It would take and f-16 9 minutes @ speed W to E for Ohio during which the civilian would make 83 miles.
I had to look up “blue death” - I had previously only heard of “blue flu”. :)
The 20mm Gatling gun system. Yeah, I can see that doing some serious shredding of an airliner. They didn’t call it blue death on the web page, but I saw 6000 shots/minute and figured it was the same thing.
Ramming wouldn’t be my preferred method to attack, and another article claimed that was one of the plans with the DC Air Guard if they intercepted flight 93.
Beware the Jabberwock, my friend!
And they were definitely supersonic, as witnessed by Mom. And probably a whole lot of other people across northern Ohio and into Western PA. Yeah, at the top speed, well, Ohio is about 200 miles across from Toledo to the PA border. Dang, that's moving.
I saw the blue angels at the Cleveland air show over Labor Day weekend - one of them made a high speed pass, at just a hair under supersonic, so close to 600 mph. I mean, it roared past. A photographer a little to our east, captured the vapor cone perfectly. It went by me so fast that by the time I had the camera up to my eye, it was well past. Very impressive machinery!
I remembered reading an article about 2 unarmed F16s that were scrambled from Andrews AFB after the Towers and the Pentagon were hit.

bloddy s/b bloody.
But you knew that.
Trump announces monumental new plan to eliminate ALL TAXES ON OVERTIME pay.
Not sure what it says in the book but if I had to do it my first choice would be to come in high, from the rear, at a slight side angle. Use my own wing to take off the vertical stabilizer, then coast clear to the side to, hopefully, eject. Fortunatley nobody had to make that choice.
This too:

I won the Debate, but was criticized by the Radical Left Lunatics because I looked âangry and forceful.â But think, why wouldnât I be angry? I love the U.S.A., and it is being destroyed by grossly incompetent leadership. Inflation, A Terrible Economy, Horrible Military Decisions, No Respect from around the World, and more than 20 Million people, many from prisons and mental institutions, are pouring into our Country, and creating Havoc, Crime, and Destruction, like never seen before. Am I supposed to be smiling, like Comrade Kamala Harris, with her FAKE one-and-a-half hour smile and long practiced facial expressions, despite all of the problems that she and Crooked Joe have caused. No, thereâs nothing to smile about, but there will be in the not too distant future, when America makes the biggest Comeback in History. November 5th - MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
I reposted the Hot Air! article on Truth.
It is ripe for virality.

Phones -??
I don’t do that, sorry...
Re? 2 unarmed F16s out of Andrews - I saw that also.
What xone mentions though - the “normal” 20mm gatling gun. I would have thought that they’d keep that thing, if not loaded, ready to be loaded fast. It’s kind of a machine gun and would be pretty effective at taking out an airliner, or even just an engine on an airliner. Have no idea how easy it is to aim those things. I’m use to things that you hold in your arm and look through sights or a scope.
I suppose that there were some lessons learned after 9/11, about the readiness of our defense fleet. I mean, if an adversary launched a hundred planes from some undetected carriers, we’d need to be ready to react ASAP (not that there’d be any undetected carriers out there).
LOL - that would change how we look at the 40 hour work week! :)
Trump to Springfield - I’d almost drive back up to Ohio to see that. Wouldn’t bring a dog though!
We can compare State duck stamps.
Required for goose hunting
along with the fed stamp.
I’ll be in my mossy oak lightweight coveralls and a camo floppy.
Unfortunately, I have no duck stamps. But I have some experience poking holes in paper targets at various distances. Depending on the weather, I’ll be in Jeans and a tee shirt.
