Summary
Lt. Col. Dean Eckmann (then a major) waves Sept. 28, 2006, as he prepares to take-off in a North Dakota Air National Guard 119th Wing F-16A fighter jet. Eckmann was one of the North Dakota Air National Guardsman who responded following the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. They scrambled from the Wing's alert detachment at Langley Air Force Base, Va., and were soon flying over the Pentagon. The fighter mission ended for the wing the fall of 2006, when the airmen transitioned to flying the C-21 lear jet.
