(AP) RENO, Nev. — Fighter pilot Heather "Lucky" Penney didn't have time to be scared. There was a hijacked commercial airliner headed to Washington, D.C., and she was ordered to stop it.
"I was prepared to die for my country," she said. "It's something everyone else would have done if they were in my shoes. I didn't have time to feel fear. We had a mission, and there was a sense of urgency."
On Sept. 11, 2001, Penney and her commanding officer were ordered to stop United Airlines Flight 93 from hitting a target in the nation's capital. But they didn't have any missiles or even ammunition. So Col. Marc Sasseville decided they would use their own planes to bring it down.He planned to strike the plane's cockpit. She opted to go for its tail, Penney said.

Cheney, who was in charge of the military that day, ( the FIRST time in the history of the US it had passed from the military) had sent the fighters, and fighter jocks who had trained for years, for just this occurence, thousands of miles away, (and inserted fake blips in the air traffic controllers radars) for his 'exercise' that had hijacked airplanes attacking US targets;
