Yes, the lack of air traffic was incredible to say the least! At that time, we lived really close to Ellington Field and during a mostly sleepless night that evening, some sort of transport plane flew, very slowly, over our home at around 3:30 AM (9/12/01). After not hearing any aircraft due to the grounding, it scared the beejeebers out of us! I can only assume it was some sort of military plane, but I will never forget that feeling of "what's going on?"
