FARGO, N.D. (AP) — One of three F-16 fighter jets that patrolled the skies over Washington, D.C., during the 2001 terrorist attacks is headed to a museum in Washington state.
Lt. Col. Brad Derrig, who flew the alert mission over the nation's capital on Sept. 11, 2001, piloted the last flight aboard the retired aircraft on Tuesday morning. He called the cross-country trip a historic moment for the Fargo-based 119th Fighter Wing, known as the Happy Hooligans.
