Does this seem right to you?

There were no armed fighter jets on stand by, near the Capital?
After watching the second airliner hit the second tower, the CO grabbed the first female F-16 pilot, who happened to be a rookie and they launched, unarmed.
I don't recall if the pentagon was before or after the second tower but she describes seeing it smoldering as they flew past.
The story lacks detail but states, she eventually escorted Airforce One back into DC.
Was she carrying ordinance then? Stopped for fuel or had several hours range?
