"They were out of Hector Field, Fargo, North Dakota. A bunch, this 119
Fighter Group and they are called the Happy Hooligans. They are probably the best interceptors that we have in the country. They were moved to Langley Air Force Base from Hector Field down to Southern Virginia. And when the klaxon horn went off at 9:35, those two pilots put down their coffee and shot into their aircraft and took off." They didn't know where they were going initially but by 10:00 hours, they had rendezvoused over Southern Pennsylvania. That's about 250 miles in just a matter of minutes and engaged 93 with two side-winder missiles. And they accomplished their objective. Now Hector Field, I use to fly out of Hector Field some time ago. I know most of those pilots. I could name names. I know the National Guard Adj. General. And they were decorated about a year later and I have the full write up of that story in my book." The name is Major Rick Gibney http://www.prisonplanet.com/022904degrandpre.html |

We have to take this plane down. Yes, it¢s a passenger plane. It needs to be taken down. ....And so I was in this room when the decision was mutually made by the people talking on the phone in the room that I was in, to shoot this plane down." |

Not you got me wondering. 9:35 to 10:00 OP indicates 250 miles in 25 minutes. That's only 600 mph. (If the math is correct?) Why so slow on an intercept? |
