Burlingame appeared to be near tears as she stared for a long moment at her husband's casket before placing a red rose atop it.
Burlingame, a Navy pilot for eight years and a member of the Naval Reserve for 17 years, was at the controls of American Airlines Flight 77 when it was seized by hijackers who crashed it into the Pentagon.
According to a family spokesman, Burlingame, 52, a resident of Oak Hills in Fairfax County, Virginia, was the husband of Sheri Burlingame and the father of Wendy Burlingame.
Her brother, Chic Burlingame, was the pilot of Flight 77.
We're talking with DebraBurlingame, by the way, if you just joined us, whose brother Chic was piloting Flight 77 and died in the 9/11 attacks.
BURLINGAME: Well, I would anticipate that their position would be that, look at what happened on 9/11 and now because of Iraq, we have increased terrorists a thousandfold.
