The wings are hollow. Other than the spars there's nothing in there that will go through concrete. Hitting at that speed the impact would leave the wings in tiny pieces.
As for the windows they were replaced with impact resistant glass when the wall was rebuilt. A bomb wouldn't shatter them.

Because it was a completely different building. The last time I checked, kevlar reinforced concrete was just slightly harder than steel and glass.

We can, but physics won't. The impacts at the WTC broke the joins between beams, their weakest point, and bent them inward into the building, as the steel destroyed the aircraft.
The walls at the Pentagon were one solid piece, with no weak point to break like at the WTC, in addition to being concrete designed to withstand a close proximity bomb blast.

We didn't see bodies in the pentagon,
there are no clear pictures of this wreckage.
or missile painted with an AA logo,
a motor ( which may not have been from a 747)
and little else.

What we did see could have been planted, it is, after all, a government building.
I don't trust the government is telling us the truth.
