You got to fly the F-16 sim Blues? Damn! I am jealous.
Good post - 9/11 was the first ( and hopefully the last) terrorist attack I've ever seen live. The wife hauled me in front of the TV after the first plane had already struck, and I was thinking - what dumbass pilot could miss seeing a building like that?
She kept saying, " I'm telling you - we are being attacked" - then the second plane slammed in!
It was inspirational to see America join hands as one that day and for a month or so afterwards.
I wish we had stayed that way, and not just till memories faded.
