On static display at Pacific Coast Air Museum - Santa Rosa, CA - (This is one of the two F-15's that were called on to scramble were at that time based at Otis Air National Guard Base - Falmouth, MA. The two planes were put on alert which means that their pilots were in their seats but the engines remained off. As soon as word reached the base that the first tower was hit by a hijacked plane the two F-15's were ordered to scramble. They were airborne about seven minutes after the tower was hit. The military fighters were just to the south of Long Island, NY when the second tower was hit.)
