On the morning of September 11, 2001, eight airline pilots reported for ordinary cross-country trips. Within hours, American Airlines Flights 11 and 77 and United Airlines Flights 175 and 93 were turned into weapons — and those men never came home.

In the left seats and right seats that day were Captains John Ogonowski, Victor Saracini, Charles Burlingame, and Jason Dahl, with First Officers Thomas McGuinness, Michael Horrocks, David Charlebois, and LeRoy Homer Jr. Some had worn a military uniform before they wore airline epaulets. All of them had families waiting on the ground.

A quarter-century later, the flights are history lessons. The names should stay personal. Eight pilots. Eight lives. Still remembered.
