How can you use “langley” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
There was only one set of fighters circling Washington during that time frame-the Langley F-16s.
Thus, while the fighter pilots under NORAD direction who had scrambled out of Langley never received any type of engagement order, the Andrews pilots were operating weapons free-a permissive rule of engagement.
For the orders to Langley pilots, see NEADS audio file, Weapons Director position, recorder 1, channel 2, 10:10-11.
The Langley fighters were not scrambled in response to United 93; NORAD did not have 47 minutes to intercept the flight; NORAD did not even know the plane was hijacked until after it had crashed.
The inaccurate accounts created the impression that the Langley scramble was a logical response to an actual hijacked aircraft.
