是哪個天才發明『領機』一詞的？
『外號Lucky』？外號？

這則報導的真實性.....???

學機飛總動員裡面用機翼對目標拍一拍不就好了（記得順便大叫"anybody home？"）

應該是妓者將報導過度誇張化了吧，還神風特攻隊哩，老美飛官這麼有Guts嗎 ?
我才不相信，頂多用F-16小撞一下，讓客機偏離攻擊的航道。

沒有結局的新聞，是八卦成分居多

說不一定只是駕駛員茶餘飯後開的玩笑，甚至只是記者自己掰出來的，不然說的那們好聽說要撞了，結果變成看戲，落差也太大了

F-16 pilot was ready to give her life on Sept. 11
By Steve Hendrix, Published: September 9

Late in the morning of the Tuesday that changed everything, Lt. Heather “Lucky” Penney was on a runway at Andrews Air Force Base and ready to fly. She had her hand on the throttle of an F-16 and she had her orders: Bring down United Airlines Flight 93. The day’s fourth hijacked airliner seemed to be hurtling toward Washington. Penney, one of the first two combat pilots in the air that morning, was told to stop it.

The one thing she didn’t have as she roared into the crystalline sky was live ammunition. Or missiles. Or anything at all to throw at a hostile aircraft.

Except her own plane. So that was the plan.

Because the surprise attacks were unfolding, in that innocent age, faster than they could arm war planes, Penney and her commanding officer went up to fly their jets straight into a Boeing 757.

“We wouldn’t be shooting it down. We’d be ramming the aircraft,” Penney recalls of her charge that day. “I would essentially be a kamikaze pilot.”

For years, Penney, one of the first generation of female combat pilots in the country, gave no interviews about her experiences on Sept. 11 (which included, eventually, escorting Air Force One back into Washington’s suddenly highly restricted airspace).

But 10 years later, she is reflecting on one of the lesser-told tales of that endlessly examined morning: how the first counterpunch the U.S. military prepared to throw at the attackers was effectively a suicide mission.

“We had to protect the airspace any way we could,” she said last week in her office at Lockheed Martin, where she is a director in the F-35 program.

Penney, now a major but still a petite blonde with a Colgate grin, is no longer a combat flier. She flew two tours in Iraq and she serves as a part-time National Guard pilot, mostly hauling VIPs around in a military Gulfstream. She takes the stick of her own vintage 1941 Taylorcraft tail-dragger whenever she can.

But none of her thousands of hours in the air quite compare with the urgent rush of launching on what was supposed to be a one-way flight to a midair collision.

First of her kind

She was a rookie in the autumn of 2001, the first female F-16 pilot they’d ever had at the 121st Fighter Squadron of the D.C. Air National Guard. She had grown up smelling jet fuel. Her father flew jets in Vietnam and still races them. Penney got her pilot’s licence when she was a literature major at Purdue. She planned to be a teacher. But during a graduate program in American studies, Congress opened up combat aviation to women and Penney was nearly first in line.

“I signed up immediately,” she says. “I wanted to be a fighter pilot like my dad.”

On that Tuesday, they had just finished two weeks of air combat training in Nevada. They were sitting around a briefing table when someone looked in to say a plane had hit the World Trade Center in New York. When it happened once, they assumed it was some yahoo in a Cesna. When it happened again, they knew it was war.

But the surprise was complete. In the monumental confusion of those first hours, it was impossible to get clear orders. Nothing was ready. The jets were still equipped with dummy bullets from the training mission.

誰撞機頭誰撞機尾根本沒提到，是台灣記者加的料嗎？

>>我才不相信，頂多用F-16小撞一下，讓客機偏離攻擊的航道。
你知道『小撞一下』會有什麼結果嗎？看看中國J-8大戰美帝EP-3的結果吧。

J-8掛了.. EP-3 迫降成功...
看來撞大飛機還真要兩架 F-16..

pc兄，我的意思不是說真的要去小撞一下 ，而是用假裝的方式，看能不能脅迫劫機的人，把客機駛離攻擊的路線。
