119 Fighter Group called the Happy Hooligans?
"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"

These
planes were being piloted by remote control, probably an AWACs aircraft
taking over that airplane or airplanes or drones, unmanned drones. And
flying them at 5 and 8 G-force that no pilot could withstand.-Col. Donn
de Grand-Pre, U.S. Army
Well, the only thing I can say is that let's consider that second
aircraft that hit the World Trade Center. It did have a control device
on the belly of the 757. That aircraft was unmanned and went in and blew
up as a diversion. And something else happened. This was a
sideshow.-Col. Donn de Grand-Pre, U.S. Army
the
aircraft, you see, had totally unconscious people on board. There were
no hijackers. At 9:35, the Happy Hooligans, the Air Guard flying the
F-16s were ordered to take that plane out. And they took it out from
9:35 to 10:00-Col. Donn de Grand-Pre, U.S. Army
There had been an adjustment to the controls, probably by an AWACs
aircraft flying overhead, again, remote control. And it was on a course
for either the Capitol or the White House. And at this stage, you don't
know. The Happy Hooligans came in and took care of it.-Col. Donn de
Grand-Pre, U.S. Army
