To commemorate 9/11, seven C-17 Globemaster IIIs, 11 KC-10 Extenders and four C-5B Galaxies from the 60th Air Mobility Wing, Travis AFB, lined up and launched consecutively to take part in Air Mobility Command missions, with the first plane in the lineup, a C-17 Globemaster, launching at 8:46 a.m., the same time American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City 12 years earlier.

First, this pic is sheer awesome.

Second, I feel like people are going to run out of creative ways to commemorate 9/11. Not trying to be a buzzkill, but it's kind of getting silly in some cases.
