what the hell was going on at Langley AFB. According to the report AA Flight && deviated from its flight plan at 8:54 and disappeared from radar at 8:56. The Indianapolis Control center thought the plane had crashed and contacted the different agencies to notify them that the plane was missing. At 9:08 The Indy center contacted Langley AFB and notified them that the plane was missing. At 9:09 fighter planes were put on battle stations because of the lack of fuel of the planes over New York (so they clearly knew of the two planes that had already crashed in NY). At 9:10 AA77 shows back up on Radar based opn the radar records, but no one notices it until 9:32 when Dulles airport sees it coming into DC airspace at a high rate of speed. During that period Langley scrambles its fighters at 9:23 and they are airborne at 9:30, but they fly in the wrong direction to intercept AA77.

Does Langley have a Radar system? The whole story depends upon believing that AA77 was lost to every Radar system on the east coast for 36 minutes while it approached DC. 14 of those minutes are attributed to technical failures. How in the hell can no one notice AA77 on the Radar for 22 minutes after we have already been attacked twice? Why did it take 20 minutes from being told AA77 was lost to get fighters off the ground when they were already at battle stations? It looks to me like someone at Langley seriously dropped the ball on this one. Who was in charge at Langley that day?
