I can't even begin to imagine what an absolute trip through the Warp that must have been for anyone in the military when that went down.

The stories are out there. Most of it is utter panic. Real short and sweet since this isn't the thread to go into detail, but:

  • All bases went to full alert status (Force Condition: Alpha)
  • NORAD had already been trying to intercept planes (long story), and had gone to DEFCON 2. (1 step below nuclear exchange)
  • All ships in port recalled their shore leave and immediately set sail without waiting for orders expecting to be sent overseas
  • All reserve units told to standby for activation and immediately report for roll-call.
  • Old B-52 pilots from Vietnam and Korea started showing up at recruiting stations asking if they needed someone to fly the beasts.

All that chaos only to learn it was our own government :(

No it wasn't, and all the available evidence shows it was Al-Qaeda.

It definitely was. Well, the Feds, Israel and the Saudis. Just had a few Al-Qaeda guys fly the planes.

Old B-52 crew guys showing up is both funny and makes complete sense. That is some serious responsibility to shoulder.

In every case I heard, they didn't need the pilots, but that ain't gonna stop those flyboys from trying.

And as you note, it's not crazy. Normally, militaries haven't needed to pull full-on civilians back; but I think there were pilots during Black Buck 1 who hadn't flown the Vulcan bomber in years that needed to get retrained.

Alpha is one step above normal. You mean Delta?
