N931NA / 63-7998 (cn 18615) This was the first and only aircraft I saw fly for days in the aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy. Taken on September 13th from the Hopkins employee parking lot, this aircraft now resides on permanent display at the Pima Air Museum in Tucson.

N189DN (cn 25990) A pretty bad photo but the subject is interesting. On 9/11, Delta flight 1989 took off from Boston on a flight to Los Angeles. Suspected of being yet another aircraft hijacked by terrorists, it was ordered to divert to Cleveland where it was met by a SWAT team and quarantined, and all passengers and crew questioned and debriefed. No onboard threat was found. Pictured here two days later sitting on the B concourse awaiting the reopening of the nation's airspace.
