LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE - Planes at Langley Air Force Base will be grounded Sept. 14 in response to an incident last week when a B-52 bomber was mistakenly armed with six nuclear warheads and flown for three hours across several states.

The stand-down was ordered by Air Combat Command and includes all jet fighters and bombers in the Air Force. The command, headquartered at Langley, oversees all of the service's fighters and bombers.

Planes in Iraq and Afghanistan and planes participating in air shows this weekend are not affected by the stand-down.


While airmen haven't been given specific instructions for the stand-down, they've been ordered to take the non-flying time to review safety procedures and protocol, an Air Combat Command spokesman said.

7. Katty I dreamed about Sept. 11th 6 days before it happened

and last night I had an awful nightmare about eruptions / lava flows / and people fleeing the scene of a lovely mountain.

i'm hoping my dream last night was not also prophetic.

I dreamed that I was trying to warn the people. and right now I feel like crying because I want to warn the iranians but don't know how.

8. they already know

So ease up on yourself
How could anyone miss Dick and Junior telegraphing their intentions?
I occasionally rack my brain for ways I might have fought these Nazis harder in 2000.
But I can't seem to lock onto anything that would have been decisive.
