I remember expecting enormous crowds at the airport. I thought there would be long lines to get through security and anticipated packed flights as we attempted to get the system up and moving again. What I found was a deserted terminal and flights with only a hand full of passengers. Of course that changed over time, but it was a very slow recovery.<br /><br />All these years later, I find it difficult not to get emotional on the anniversary of that tragic event. My youngest daughter was less than a year old on 9/11...she's full of questions now and enjoyed your post too. <br /><br />It's always a pleasure to spend some time immersed in your blog.<br /><br />Brad APChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562561216814622503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002968705989988807.post-86055465291505122532013-09-13T14:54:27.186-07:002013-09-13T14:54:27.186-07:00Thank you, Brent at iflyblog.com!

It was quite a memory for all of us, I am sure!<br /><br />May we win the war on terrorism quickly and decisively.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment, Brent!capnauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13020957375172560992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002968705989988807.post-57472341160187680592013-09-11T03:34:55.022-07:002013-09-11T03:34:55.022-07:00Eric,
What a great tribute to those that were lost...Eric,<br />What a great tribute to those that were lost that fateful day over a decade ago. <br />It changed us all - it changed everything - and I'll never forget that day as long as I live. <br />I wasn't flying either, but I was Captain on the first flight our company launched, once the airspace was reopened to 135 operators, and it was a sobering experience. <br />I hope we never have to endure such tragedies again. <br />BrentBrent at iflyblog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11354578064179891726noreply@blogger.com
