Where is the NY/NJ Air Guard based?

F-16s from North Dakota training in Virginia scrambled just before terrorists struck the Pentagon.

I've heard Stan Monteith state on Radio Liberty that those F-16s were based at Langley AFB in Hampton, VA - 200 miles from DC.

The dims are too dim to know or care about anything but their hate. Good words are wasted on them. Like ORielly says, they are pinheads.
