Dear Mr. Dunne:

This letter is in response to your inquiry of May 25, 2004, regarding activities at the
Orlando International Airport (MCO) following September 11, 2001. The responses to
your questions were developed through log entries, interviews with staff and recent
inquiries by our staff.

1. On what date and at what precise time did Orlando

International Airport reopen after the September 11, 2001
terrorist attacks? If the date and time differ for general
aviation versus commercial, please provide both.

MCO Response: At approximately 0100 hours local time on

September 13, 2001, the Airport in conjunction with the FAA,
certified that we were in compliance with the required Security
Directive and we were available to receive flights. The first
flight to land was a United Parcel Service Boeing 757, which
landed shortly after the airport was certified. At 0940, Delta
Flight 9960, Boeing 737 landed in Orlando, this was a
repositioning flight and had crew only. At 1100, Orlando
International Airport resumed operations as normal, following
the lifting of the "ground stop", by the FAA.

2. Did any flights land at Orlando after September 11, 2001,

and before the airport reopened? If so, please list the
flights with the dates and times of arrival.

MCO Response: There was one flight that operated prior to

September 13, 2001. A military Learjet which we were advised
through the FAA Air Traffic Control (Jacksonville Center to
 Orlando Approach Control) that it was a legal flight landing at
MCO at 2330 hours to pick up a scientist.

3. On what date and at what precise time do your records

indicate that the following flight landed at Orlando? If you
do not have any records regarding this flight, please state
that in your response.

Ryan International Flight 441, a Boeing 727

with 26 passengers, most of them relatives
of Usama Bin Laden, landing at Orlando
International Airport (Signature Aviation) on
or about September 19, 2001.

MCO Response: Our records indicated that Ryan Flight 441

did operate from MCO. The flight was handled by Signature
Flight Support on the West Side of the airport. We queried
Signature, who in turn called Ryan International and that flight
landed at 1622 hours on September 19, 2001.

4. On what date and at what precise time do your records

indicate that the following flight departed from Orlando? If
you do not have any records regarding this flight, please
state that in your response.

Ryan International Flight 441, a Boeing 727

with 26 passengers, most of them relatives
of Usama Bin Laden, departing from
Orlando, Florida on or about September 19,
2001.

MCO Response: In reviewing our logs, there were two entries

about Ryan Flight 441. At 1940 hours, it was reported that the
Flight Crew would not fly Usama Bin Laden's relatives. At
1955, the Flight Crew changed their minds and would fly the
relatives, the flight departed shortly their after at 1955 hours.

The exact arrival and departure times were provided by Ryan

International (Director - Safety and Security - Mr. Terry Cox -
316-293-1530).
 5. What information, if any, do you have about the screening
by law enforcement personnel-including law enforcement
personnel affiliated with the airport facility-of individuals
on these flights?

MCO Response: We are not aware of how the screening

process was accomplished for this flight. Our staff recalls, the
travelers were escorted by a motorcade led by the Orange
County Sheriff's Department and there was little to no interface
with the Orlando Police Department, who are our law
enforcement personnel on the airport.

Should you any further information or clarification, please feel free to

contact us.

Sincerely,

Parker W, McClellan, Jr., AAE.

1. LAX reopened for both commercial and general aviation at 12 noon, September 13, 2001.
2. A single flight landed during the time LAX was closed from September 11 until September 13, and that was
