For me one of the biggest problems with 9/11 is the fact that there wasn't even a single fighter that put eyes on any of the aircraft let alone attempted to stop any of them. Especially, f77, and f93, we have a full scale attack culminating on targets in DC. With one striking the pentagon a full hour and a half after the last strike.
On September 11, 2001 three of the E-4Bs were participating in a live command-level exercise known as Global Guardian.[10] The exercise is an annual event, and is staged to test the readiness of the US military's command and control procedures involved in waging thermonuclear war. The 2001 exercise started the week before September 11 under the directorship of Admiral Richard Mies, commander-in-chief of STRATCOM. According to various reports, the drill was in "full swing" at the time of the 9/11 attack. Numerous other military commands were also involved, including NORAD. While few details have been released, we know that in previous years the US Space Command, the Air Combat Command, and the US Atlantic and Pacific Fleets were also involved.[11]

Three of our four E-4B's were airborne on 9/11. Any one of which could have been the base of operations to carry out 9/11.

BoneZ, the two E-4Bs were on the ground at Andrews Air Force Base while the attacks were occurring in New York. Where was the third one and when did it take off?

Now, unless you're privy to classified information, I don't see how you could possibly know when the E-4B's were parked and at what times they became airborne. The government still isn't even admitting that those planes were even airborne after they were informed by CNN of the videos of the E-4B flying low over DC shortly after the alleged plane crash into the Pentagon.

You're still not understanding my first post. We have four E-4B's in our inventory. Three of them were participating in scheduled military wargames on 9/11, according to reports, and the fourth was parked at it's home at Offutt.

I never once said I knew exactly what their mission was on 9/11, but I'll guarantee you it was not for some nefarious purpose,

Ok. Tell us then, using the timelines of FAA and military/NEADS notifications and the locations, flight paths, IFF-status and "locate-ability" (my word) of the airliners in question, coupled with the "fog" of what was going on, what *you think* should have happened for fighters to get "eyes on" any of the 4 hijacked aircraft in sufficient time to be able to prevent any of the events.
