The order went out for planes to land but that order came late, Flt 93 was already down while other aircraft were still in the air. There were about twelve commercial passenger jets still up at that time- flight 93 was not the 'last plane in the air,' not by a long shot. The priority was on the airliners; small bizjets and civ craft took a while longer to get down - there was even an airliner near Air Force One as it headed out on its last leg to Nebraska.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I did know 93 wasn't the absolute last plane in the air, but I was under the impression that as far as this area virtually every plane was down.
Thanks again
