Maintainin said:Back to Virginia: Langley Air Force Base is around 130 miles from the nations capital so why did NORAD say it scrambled jets from that far away when Andrews Air Force Base the very one designated to defend the nations capital is only a little over ten miles away over the water from DC and pilots from AAFB could have had breakfast and still intercepted Flight 77 with time to spare.
bullshit. langley is situated in an overspill area of washington dc just over the virginia border. the driving distance between langley & washington is 9 miles. the flying distance is 7 miles.
