I am a retired US Air Force F-16 pilot. I have a lot of problems with what is being said in this interview as well with the associated narrative that for some 20+ years has painted these 2 pilots as heroes for what they "would have done" on Sept 11, 2001. There were no military heroes on 9/11 except for those that worked to rescue the injured and trapped at the Pentagon. Beyond those, the military saved no lives that day. Absolutely none. The primary game plan to take down any aircraft coming into DC that day by ramming the nose and tail with F-16's was utter nonsense and completely unnecessary except as a very, very, very last resort. Why? Let me explain. The F-16 normally carries up to 511 rounds of live 20mm Target Practice (TP) ammunition on every flight. The F-16's M61A1 Vulcan cannon firing a 20mm 1500+ grain TP round down its barrels at 3400 feet per second is hardly a "BB gun"...despite what was said by Heather Penney in another interview. In that interview it was also said these pilots only had 110 rounds each. That is extremely doubtful. The only reason 110 rounds would have been the limit was if that was exactly how many rounds were loaded or what was left over from previous air-ground training missions (unlikely in both cases). There is, however, an external rounds limiter switch which is typically set to 110 when shooting the gun during air-ground training to facilitate hit percentage calculations e.g., 40 hits = 40%. (Generally 2 passes are made on the range with 5 clearing rounds being unusable for each pass.)The pilot or crew chief can easily flip the rounds limit switch off before engine start allowing all rounds that are loaded to be fired. So it seems they took off with the rounds limiter switch on and set to the standard 110. As far as engaging an airliner, it would have been simple to intercept and cruise up behind it and put 25 to 50 rounds through the engines, tail, or cockpit. This would have almost certainly taken the airliner down. If all the ammunition was expended, the next thing to have tried would have been a supersonic, very close pass over the engines as this would likely cause the engines to stall and/or flameout. Only after these and possibly other options were tried should a suicide ram have been considered. Sadly, the suicide ram is the FIRST and ONLY option brought up when these these two pilots talk about what they would have done that day. The Pentagon was hit 34 minutes after the SECOND airliner hit the Twin Towers in New York City. 34 minutes! F-16's were sitting on the ground 10 miles away when the Pentagon was attacked. It was an abject failure of our civilian and military leadership that left the nation unprepared to respond and prevent an attack on our nation's capitol with a 34 minute warning. Again, no military heroes that day. The continued blaring for 20+ years about a suicide mission that these pilots WOULD HAVE DONE that day needs to stop. They saved no one. Exit the stage. Enough.

I believe it was her that said “we only had training rounds loaded…. Those are just for training and wound not take down a plane”. Pilots and crew chiefs all have a lot of questions for these pilots… but as you know… just because you are a fighter pilot, does not mean you are a smart one. Sadly though they will continue to be held as hero’s because people believe anything they hear on the internet and don’t ever question it. Why crash into the cockpit and the tail? Both do the job….. just… wow.

Ramming the Airliner would have been the last ditch effort. I have met her and been at that unit. It's the 121st Fighter Squadron, She lied about not having any weapons there were 510 rounds of Training 20mm on both jets. That is the standard load out. She first said she had no Ammo but her unit called her out on that and she said 20mm is like a BB gun and wouldn't have done anything which is just absurd it can punch through medium armor. Again would have been more than enough to down an airliner. The worst part is she is whining about the fact they were told last ditch effort down the airliner at all cost even if that means ramming the Airliner. Keep in mind The people on Flight 93 they died sacrificing themselves to keep the plane from killing others. She is looking for glory while the true hero's died on flight 93. Heather Penny was shunned and kicked out of the fighter pilot community which should tell you everything you need to know. Her own unit wanted nothing to do with her because her lies reflected disgrace on all her fellow pilots.

@jerryavila1

It was not a missle that hit the pentagon. It was a commercial airliner. The engines were found, plane parts were abundantly identified so was the dna of the victims. Don’t be silly with conspiracy theories. Everything is a conspiracy for some people. Why is that? It’s always the “they don’t want you to know” thing. Who is “they?” A group of men dresses in black sitting around a big table ? Naive and gullible you are saying that. It comes to show why things do not go very well in your life.

There are training events specifically for hijack situations. Commercial airliner hijackings were nothing new by that point. Also, the pilots of the hijacked planes would have had enough time to say "we're being hijacked!" Or "hijacked hijacked!" Before the terrorists took complete control. No atc controller will here those words and think "ohhh funny joke. You got me." And no pilot would EVER say that unless it was true. Unless they want to lose their license and do jail time. As soon as atc heard "hijack" from the plane, an entire chain of events would take place. Especially if contact was attempted and there was none thereafter. It would raise red flags immediately and almost confirm it was a hijacking. Fighter jets could have been up and in the air long before any plane hit any target. This is what leads me to believe the government had knowledge of the hijackings with enough time to act. They chose not to.

@snapdragon6601

10 ай бұрын

Previous hijackings on airlines had always included the terrorists making demands, flying to a 3rd country who says they won't extradite, ect. That would always give governments and authorities time to figure out how to deal with it. What happened on 9/11 was something new. They did haven't any demands and set out knowing that it was a one way trip. It only took something like 20 minutes from the time a plane was first noticed deviating from their flight plan until impact on the building. The government hadn't forseen a scenario like that which help to explain why the F-16 weren't able to get there fast enough. The government still dropped the ball but i don't think they had prior knowledge of the attack.
