Mission No. 3,480 appeared simple enough on paper. Depart Andrews Air Force Base near Washington at 1:15 p.m. on Sept. 10, according to the official flight itinerary. There would be stops in Jacksonville and Sarasota, Fla., where President Bush planned to showcase educational initiatives. Fly back to Andrews the afternoon of Sept. 11.
That round trip did occur — but with previously unscheduled stops at military bases in Louisiana and Nebraska, and a return to a Washington and a world that had changed forever.

Make Orwell fiction again.
