Yeah seriously - McGuire Air Force Base is under 40 air miles from the WTC. An F-15 could have made it from holding short to the scene in about three minutes if he had to. Even if it were not armed it still could force a plane down or at least keep one busy until the armed ones show up. An afterburner at close range could knock out a single jet or the cockpit window. Also a gear down smack could take out a wingtip or elevator.
