This photograph, taken by Eric Draper from aboard Air Force One on September 11, 2001, shows an F-16 Fighting Falcon military jet flying alongside Air Force One to escort the presidential aircraft from Offutt Air Force Base near Bellevue, Nebraska to Andrews Air Force Base near Prince George's County, Maryland. Multiple F-16 fighter jets accompanied Air Force One to protect President George W. Bush following the terrorist attacks on the morning of September 11, 2001. Bush received news of the suspected terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York city while visiting Emma E. Brooker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida, to take part in a reading demonstration. After delivering brief remarks at the school, Bush boarded Air Force One for his own protection, accompanied by roughly 65 advisors, security agents, and staff members. For the hours that followed, President Bush worked from his office aboard Air Force One, where he monitored the crisis using the secure phone lines and televisions installed in the aircraft.
