Later (several days) when I found out that it was N612U I looked thru my log book records to see when and how much I had flown it----It was one of the first 19 B767 that United got back in the early 80s and over a 3 year period between 85-89 I had flown it several hundred hours as co pilot and after Captain had flown it many more hours but mostly on my routing I was then flying the larger B767-300s and hours on 767-200 was limited ----------I never have been able to look at crew names to see how much I possibly flew with those who pershed that day----------

It has been 20 years now since the first trade center bombing---I was in New York that day and had planned to take the train to the trade center sight seeing but when I got up late morning(after an all niter) I could see the smoke rising from them and it was on tv---------

I'll never forget it---------------------

That would be one helluva emotional moment.
Terrible.
I feel for you mate.
