Outstanding analysis and good info to add to the avalanche of reasons CIT's complicated conglomeration of nonsense is wrong.
One area where I think you've misunderstood is Roosevelt Robert's muddled statements. As I understand what he said the aircraft he observed came from roughly the impact point (Rte 27), flew over ~ Lane 1 of the South Parking area, then turned toward the Mall Entrance to the Pentagon (not the Mall in Washington, DC) and departed to the SW. In other words it never flew across the Potomac River as you've stated in your analysis. To make this simpler and plainer he essentially said the aircraft came from the ~SW and did a U-turn over the Pentagon traveling back in the direction (SW) from which it came.
Of course, we then get the typical "clarification" by CIT of what he really meant to say in support of their fantasy to support a flyover.
Can you imagine a competent investigator using Robert's statements at all for anything? Can you imagine someone listening to this in a Courtroom?
If I've confused what he said, someone else (besides CIT) might take a stab and try to clarify it further. I don't intend to try and analyze it any more as it gives me a headache.
Roosevelt is the critical first flyover witness. He did not see the Pentagon attack jet on the approach at all. He only saw it immediately after the explosion as it banked away from the Pentagon.
He was at the east side of the loading dock when he saw the plane over the south parking lot of the Pentagon.
Roosevelt says that the plane was 50 to less than 100 feet above the light poles in the south parking lot and was banking around. His exact direction of the bank is a bit unclear from the interview but it sounds as though he has it banking around to the north since he says towards the "mall entrance side" which is on the north side of the Pentagon.
He says "southwest" but we think his directions were confused at that moment since it sounds like he is struggling to visualize and verbalize the proper cardinal direction which is to be expected from eyewitness recollection. He does clarify further when he says it was not banking towards the airport meaning it wasn't banking southwest after all.

If it flew over where in the world did the FDR come from? Think about that logically, step away from your computer and put away your hatred for the government for a minute.
Now that you're back, do you think that they simply took the FDR from the "flyover" plane and planted it at the scene? Does that sound about right?
Well, then why would they go through such a successful and elaborate "deception" and use the actual "flyover" plane's FDR?

As to WHY they did stupid things; the 9-11 planners/perps must have figured that ALL Americans were stupid and blind enough to be easily duped and conned by their psyops scenarios. The numbers of the duped and ignorant Americans are rapidly decreasing.

CIT has so far refused my request for it to provide a "flyaway" flight path so I've done nothing more. But Craig has posted this picture with a "north side" flight path crossing the Pentagon here:

If CIT were to stick to that flight path any attempt at extending it in any direction is going to lead to the same issue of lack of eyewitnesses - not to speak of exceeding aircraft capabilities you've already nailed CIT with - and I will be most happy to do another View Shed analysis .

ever seen a nascar wipe out? THAT is what it looks like when metal is hurling about a hundreds of miles an hour. transfer of momentum DICTATES that if the (imaginary) plane was not slowed by the poles, than the poles took off at the speed of the plane after being struck.
the light poles were not moving at hundreds of miles per hour when they hit the lawn, or the taxi, and therefore, they were not hit by any 400+ mph plane, but were planted, and therefore it was a planned deception.
PROVE that the FDR was from flight 77.
PROVE that the military even did ONE SINGLE dna test.
what is it that bunkers, er, i mean, 'de'bunkers don't understand about the implications of an "INSIDE job"?

I think another thing to add to your list of questions is where are the witness statements from people in the other side of the Pentagon, if a plane did fly over at the same time as the impact why hasn't anyone there spoken up?
think of it this way, you're in your office minding your own business when all of a sudden there would be an almighty explosion nearby. Within that split second of hearing the explosion you would realise that you are not in immediate danger. So, what is the first thing you do? You would look out the window to see if you can see what made the explosion.
Obviously if an aircraft flew over at the same time you would spot it pretty easily.

Also there were helicopters crossing quite often from DC to the Pentagon helipad. There was nothing unusual about seeing and hearing aircraft. Regardless, there might have been many people calling in to report a low flying aircraft, just after the explosion, to local law enforcement and the Arlington County 9-11 lines and the local FBI. It is likely the FBI contacted them and told them they were mistaken and informed them of what the Official Conspiracy Theory (OCT) exactly was, and never to bother them again. You don't think OUR FBI would do such a thing?
There were also likely many more people calling in to report the decoy aircraft crossing westward over the Potomac and circling over Alexandria and Fairfax and around Crystal City, getting lower and lower. Do you actually think Steve Chaconas was the only eyewitness who saw the decoy aircraft crossing the Potomac and banking around Reagan? OUR worthless mainstream media whores have not done much to seek these witnesses out, have they?

You have to realize that the residents and employees and travelers in the area are used to aircraft flying right over Columbia Island and up or down the Potomac River every few minutes seven days a week. There was nothing unusual about aircraft flying out of or into Reagan National Airport. They were used to the noise and sight of commercial aircraft climbing out of Reagan to cruising altitude or slowly flying in on a landing glide slope.

How does it feel to be completely refuted by facts and evidence you never considered, SPreston?

OK, I'm booked for Washington for 5 days, at my own expense, arriving Thursday, Aug 28. The only thing that is unclear is what flight path the jet took.

"I am a troll obsessed with people i think are nuts"
The premise is ridiculous, and the attempts to prove it didn't happen are almost laughable. No, I think people WOULD notice a low flying plane, that is nowhere where they are used to seeing planes. You folks are making all your assumptions based on some idea that people are complete morons. Too stupid to see a plane flying away (or apparently, hear it - must be one of those silent 757s!). Apparently those who watched it hit the Pentagon are blithering idiots, who don't know what a passenger jet looks like. They all completely imagined seeing something hit the Pentagon.
