Cali Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 I still it like it was yesterday. Got a call from my supervisor saying to get into work ASAP, I was playing a game of dominoes on yahoo when he called. Got to work and we all watched what was going on, while the AMU where getting jets ready for alert. About a year after that we deployed to Guam with 6 F-16's 2 on alert at all times, pilots slept about 200 feet from the jets. They did 2 alert practices a day. Now I've been to Guam 3 times, I've spent roughly about 14 months here. i7-4820k @ 3.7, Windows 7 64-bit, 16GB 1866mhz EVGA GTX 970 2GB, 256GB SSD, 500GB WD, TM Warthog, TM Cougar MFD's, Saitek Combat Pedals, TrackIR 5, G15 keyboard, 55" 4K LED

Invader ZIM Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) I was at the Community College of Allegheny County that morning. We had gotten into class when a few students had mentioned a plane hit the WTC. We thought it was a small piper or something, but about 10 minutes later the other Faculty ran into the rooms telling us to evacuate immediately, a plane was heading for our area. This plane turned out to be United Airlines Flight 93. As I got outside with hundreds of others into the parking lot, I saw two F-16's. We don't normally see them, let alone with drop tanks, two AIM-120's and 2 Aim-9s, and they were afterburning. I still didn't know what was going on as I got to my car and got onto the Interstate, I could see Pittsburgh International Airport once I got on Rt.22 from the College, but EVERYONE from all the local businesses were evacuating too. I had the news radio on trying to figure out what was happening, it seemed like WW3 was starting, thousands of cars congesting the roadway, people running to their vehicles from all the businesses, you couldn't get anywhere. What was normally a 20 minute commute took me 2 hours to get home. I finally had access to a TV and could see what had happened. There were F-16's doing combat air patrols over our area, we never see that kind of action in the air. I'll never forget that day. Edited September 15, 2014 by Invader ZIM
