A HUSBAND'S DREAM — Sandra Dahl, a Sept. 11 widow, and Air Force Lt. Col. Mike Low display a flag given to her by firefighters in Somerset, Pa., that she carried on an "incentive flight" last week. Dahl's husband, Jason, was the pilot of United Airlines flight 93, which crashed in a field outside the town of Somerset, Pa. She took a ride on the F-16 piloted by Low to fulfill her late husband's dream of flying an F-16. Low is a member of the 120th Fighter Squadron, 140th Wing, Colorado Air National Guard, and a United Airlines pilot, U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Darin Overstreet
