The actions of the passengers on United Airlines Flight 93 on Sept. 11, 2001, prove that heroism "exists inside every single one of us," Heather “Lucky” Penney says.

"Not a single passenger on 93 was a service member," she told PBS News' Nick Schifrin. "They were just ordinary, everyday Americans. And yet they were willing to fight the terrorists, to seize control of the cockpit and sacrifice their lives to protect us. It proves to me that heroism isn't something unique, that that exists inside every single one of us."

Twenty-five years ago, Penney was on duty as a fighter pilot in the Washington, D.C., Air National Guard. She and her wingman, then-Lt. Col. Marc Sasseville, were authorized to use lethal force to take down Flight 93 before it reached the nation's capital by ramming their jets into the civilian airliner.

"It would have been a su***de mission, and neither one of us hesitated," she said. "Everyone on the base, any individual who had ever raised their right hand, would have wanted to be in that two-ship to protect our nation. It was my job."

But she never had to make the ultimate sacrifice as the passengers of Flight 93 stormed the cockpit, forcing the hijacked plane to crash in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Penney said she is "intensely grateful" for what the passengers were willing to do.

She sat down with Nick Schifrin on Tuesday to discuss the events of 9/11. For the full interview: https://to.pbs.org/3UKF9Wv

There are moments that remind us why we love this country — and this was one of them.
As Charlie Puth sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Super Bowl LX, the sky above Levi's Stadium in California came alive with the thunder of American airpower. Seven U.S. Air Force aircraft soared overhead in a breathtaking flyover, paying tribute to the courage, precision, and spirit that define our nation.
From Ellsworth to Fresno to Moffett Field, America’s finest took to the skies:
Two B‑1B Lancers (DRAGO11) from Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota
Two F‑15C Eagles (DRAGO21) from Fresno, California
Two F/A‑18E Super Hornets (DRAGO31) from Moffett Field, California
Two F‑35C Lightning IIs (DRAGO41) are also from Moffett Field, California.
Each aircraft, each crew, each formation was a reminder that freedom is protected by those willing to rise above — literally and figuratively.
It wasn’t just a flyover. It was a salute.
A promise.
A reminder of the strength, unity, and resilience that define the United States of America.
Enjoy the moment, and have a wonderful day. 🇺🇸✨
