During 9-11 military pilots were given permission to engage with any aircraft flying in the total US no fly zone if an aircraft was flying towards a major populated city and failed to comply with instructions from a military pilot to land
All incoming flights were diverted to Canada
I have emailed the US military asking if any aircraft were shot down (engaged with). No surprise they denied any aircraft was shot down
I have it from a US commercial pilot who also flies for the National Guard at weekends that THREE aircraft WERE shot down
Naturally the US military will deny this
Does any commercial/military pilot in this forum know if three aircraft were actually shot down?
Thanks guys & gals
