Yes the F-16 does carry heat seeking and radar guided missiles.

What say you about my other comments? i.e., is a shoot-down from, say about 10,000 feet much different than in intentional 'lawn-dart' pilot-induced impact?

Second reply.....documents that show UAL93 was intercepted?
Interesting...
Yes and reports stating that the pilots had shoot down orders. All goes to conflict the official reports.

The only problem with that is, none of the fighters were armed with missiles and there was only one F-16 in the air trying to find flight 93.
Why? They were not an alert base, we've been over this before.
The F-16s from Andrews would have been armed.
What good is a loaded gun if you don't have a target to shoot at?
As far as i know all F-16s would at least had the gun loaded.

The main mistake of the hijackers was....getting low....they probably thought they could 'evade' radar....they were pretty stupid guys, after all. NOT good pilots, not experienced.

Well according to my sources Flight 93 was intercepted. Also at least 1 plane came back with a empty missile rail.
Question is: Does the F-16 carry heat-seeking missiles? If so, then they would go for the hot parts.....that would be one of the engines (the APU would not be running) So, if anyone knows about the F-16 more than us, could you comment?

You don't have any CREDIBLE sources. You have a goon that heard from a guy that heard from a guy that heard someone reading a transcript.
There was NO INTERCEPTION
