Above & Beyond: The Air Force Response on 9/11
As thousands of first responders mobilized on the ground in response to the attacks on 9/11, fighter pilots took to the nation's skies. In this moment of unprecedented crisis, United States Air Force Lieutenant General Marc Sasseville, Major Heather Penney, and Lieutenant General Daniel Caine scrambled their F-16 jets, Sasseville and Penney without any weapons, to intercept any hijacked planes still in the skies to prevent an even larger tragedy. In honor of Salute to Service, these service members will join Museum President & CEO Beth Hillman to discuss the Air Force response on 9/11, lessons learned, and how the events reshaped the nation’s national defense protocols.
