Flight 89 - Remembering 9/11

Author: Av8rTony September 9, 2021 Duration: 3:18:53

recorded on the 7th of September, 2021


On today’s special flight of the Squawk Ident podcast - Remembering September 11th - the Squawk Ident crew and I listen in along with all of you, to some of our favorite aviators as they recall what it was like 20 years ago as the world first discovered that four U.S. commercial airliners were being used as weapons against our nation by a new form of terrorism never before imagined. Nearly 3000 souls lost their lives on 9/11, four aircraft were destroyed, and our nation and the aviation industry were forever changed.

The inspiration for this special episode came from recent conversations that we each shared which pointed out that there is an entire generation of aviators out on the line today that are barley 20 year old themselves.

Join us as we speak with a few of our favorite professional airline pilots as they recall the events that changed their industry, their careers, and their lives forever on a beautiful September morning in 2001.

A special thank you to Captain Elmore, Captain Evans, Captain Barber, Captain Fielsch, Captain LeTourneau, & Captain Lindner for sharing their  experiences with us.

All this and more onboard Flight 89 of the Squawk Ident podcast.
