F-15s to "Fly Over" NYC for 911 Anniversary - Unbelievable
Is this to remind us of "what might have been" had they flown over on 9/11/2001?

F-15s Fly Over NY for 9-11 Anniversary


Air Force Print News | September 07, 2007

TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- On the sixth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, Air Force fighters assigned to the Continental U.S. NORAD Region will be visible over the New York City area.

Two F-15 Eagles from the 102nd Fighter Wing at Otis Air National Guard Base, Mass., will over fly New York City as part of the continuing Operation Noble Eagle mission.

The F-15s will make low approaches on LaGuardia, John F. Kennedy, Newark and Teterboro airports. The sorties are carefully planned and conducted to ensure public safety while displaying NORAD's rapid response capability.

The air defense deterrence flights are not threat driven, but demonstrate improvements in air security that have taken place since Sept. 11, said Maj. Gen. Hank Morrow, the commander of Continental U.S. NORAD Region, called CONR.

"We've become increasingly visible in our (Operation Noble Eagle) role, due largely to the increased assets we have sitting alert across America today," General Morrow said. "We've more than doubled the amount of fighter aircraft defending the homeland, and that force is representative of a larger, more robust air defense 'system of systems,' including air defense sectors, ground assets, and close coordination with the (Federal Aviation Administration) and other federal agencies, local governments and government officials.

and intercepted those planes before they hit the twin towers!! "rapid response capabilities"--that's a good one!!

6. Yes, let's heal the city's psyche by reenacting what terrorized them.
Next up: festive hindenburg remembrance with exploding hot air balloon drones.

17. Yep
What goes through the minds of people who think this stuff up. It serves no purpose
other than to re traumatize people.

12. Unbelievable. No shit.
Where the fuck were they 9/11/01.

Be afraid. Because they say so.

"Be afraid because they say so" (the rest was perfect too!)

15. There's nothing like a little mass demonstration of killing power
to remember the victims of a mass demonstration of killing power.

16. I can't get over the irony of this.
And they can't understand the irony. All it does is remind people what didn't happen. Amaazing.

20. How long will it take them this time?
Seems like USAF doesn't have any current maps of NYC locations available years ago.

21. Ulterior motive: FEAR FEAR FEAR
New Hitler is enjoying as much success as Old Hitler.

This is as much a punishment to Liberal NYC to scare the shit out of them, especially anyone (there will be millions) who did not hear about it beforehand.

FEAR FEAR FEAR

I cannot believe it. The Hitler Plan, again and again by the Bushies, working again and again and AGAIN.

If there is any single human being (and yes, I know there are plenty) who cannot yet see the Shape of Rising Darkness (which may be interrupted briefly between Emeprors George and Jeb, but probably not) of Totalitarianism Rising, the should just go out and jointhe Republic Party.
