On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001,
Capt. Dean Eckmann of the 119th Fighter Wing, North Dakota Air
National Guard, was on duty at the unit’s alert Detachment
at Langley AFB in Virginia. Captain Eckmann flying the lead aircraft
along with wing men Major Brad Derrig and Capt. Craig Borgstrom
responded to the first scramble order to Washington DC. Here
Capt. Eckmann’s F-16 is seen as he arrives over the nation’s
capital and makes his initial high speed pass over the Pentagon
at 900 feet. In the background such Washington landmarks as the
Lincoln and Jefferson memorials, the Washington Monument, the
Capital and the White House are visible. Signed by Dean Eckmann
- Craig Borgstrom. |
