Forget the official story. The plane merely has to line up to affect light poles on the bridge and be in the area to reach the west wall.
Norad video- the airplane passing across the middle of the Navy Annex ( Watch it) And then passing the circle road!
Official claim or least what maintained the plane was coming in along S Washington Blvd. For me either the black line or green line can be correct ( with a margin of error) the (black line is more accurate if we suppose Norad video is correct!
Either way Ruby- Robert lifted his right hand to show where the plane was and this would be along the black line! He did not switch to his left hand and declare the plane was over by Arlington Cemetery! A plane heading that way would miss all light poles on the bridge but can still strike the west wall.
Look at SGT lagaisse plane diagram again! He actually draws a line through the second circle road near the bridge ( my black line is same) and they're likely to be a tiny error difference.
I have lost count of how many times I have quoted VERBATIM what Robert Turcios said,

11. Robert Turcios. [At 4:00, Turcios looks very surprised when Craig Ranke asks him if he saw the plane fly over the Pentagon.] “Fly over the Pentagon? No. The only thing I saw was … direct line to go into the Pentagon.”
[This video is chopped off there. In other videos you hear Turcios say, after an interruption by Craig, “ …[it] collided.” CIT claim him as a north path witness and hence assert the plane must have flown over, but clearly Turcios knows the plane hit the Pentagon.]

Really not true!!
The plane has to pass exactly where all the eyewitnesses saw it, and be banking right, as they said.
This image of yours has a black line which you think is most correct.
But it misses many witnesses on the plane's flightpath.
It passes south of the Citgo.
It misses the ANC parking lot.
It misses the bridge.
It misses probably 4 of the lightpoles.
It is a straight line.
Norad video- the airplane passing across the middle of the Navy Annex ( Watch it) And then passing the circle road!
You say that the FAA / NORAD animation is very close to the real flightpath.
I agree.
In it, the plane flies diagonally across the Navy Annex, then banks right as it passes over north of the Citgo station, and the ANC parking lot. It approaches the Pentagon wall perpendicular, not at a steep angle as the Official Flightpath does.
However you have to realise that the flightpath over the ground is only truly shown when the plane is centred in the frame. But below, the vantage point is above and to the left of the plane, which makes the red line appear to be further south than it really is.
Then the plane crosses Route 27 exactly where so many eyewitnesses placed it - much further north than the overpass bridge.
Keep watching this animation, and something else happens ...
the plane (red markings) continues on, across the Pentagon's centre courtyard, and away over the southeast wall, into South Parking.
In fact, that is exactly what was seen by eyewitnesses on the south and east sides of the Pentagon.

The NTSB animation of Flight AA77
www.democraticunderground.com...
Notice the guage in the lower righthand corner; it's the compass, showing a "magnetic" heading of "070" (i.e. relative to magnetic north). In the DC area, magnetic north is 10.5o west of true north.
It appears that whoever prepared the NTSB animation tried to adjust the magnetic heading to be a true heading in order to orient the map on which the flight path is superimposed. However, it appears that they simply made a mistake by adjusting the wrong way, 10.5o east instead of west, making the 70o magnetic heading to be 80.5o instead of the correct 59.5o. The following shows the correct heading passing directly over the Washington Blvd. bridge where the light poles were hit, compared to the incorrect heading as seen in the NTSB animation:
With the correct heading adjustment, the flight data recorder confirms what about a dozen withnesses said they saw: Flight AA77 hit the light poles.

3. The animation was done by NTSB
Pilotsfor911truth has simply added notes on the NTSB animation, such as the notes to show where the light poles would be. Without verifying that the flight path had been correctly oriented on the map, pilotsfor911truth claimed that the flight data recorder "proves" that AA77 couldn't have hit the light poles.

8. JDX knows about it now
Maybe he just hasn't had time to remove it from his site; we'll see, but I predict he will ignore it. Why? Because he's also thumping on several other boards about having two witnesses who will say that the plane passed north of the Citgo, as shown in the animation. He's making another for-sale DVD about that, so admitting that the animation is wrong would make that scam much harder to sell. To sell that scam, he already has to claim that the poles being knocked over -- not to mention the path of damage inside the Pentagon! -- was faked and (as if that wasn't ridiculous enough) that several dozen witnesses who say the plane passed over the bridge (many of which specifically saw the poles knocked over) are all either mistaken or lying. If he has to add to that a claim that the FDR heading is off by over 20 degrees, I'd say "game over."

Nope, the FAA/NORAD animation has the plane flying diagonally across the Navy Annex from southwest corner to almost northeast corner, which is exactly where the two eyewitnesses EDWARD PAIK and ALBERT HEMPHILL place it.
This animation also has the pkane banking right, as all the witnesses state. Maybe you just can't draw curved lines on your images, but the animation flightpath is distinctly curved right.
Then it has the plane flying totally NORTH of the Citgo, but you have it flying across the top.
Therefore you have the plane flying much closer to the bridge than the animation does, but still it is not enough to hit any poles on the bridge.
In your lower image, your 3 black lines are much more than 124 feet apart. The downed pole #1 is right In front of that tree on the left (south) edge of the bridge.
No way can the plane fly across the Annex, then hit the poles on the bridge, and the Pentagon, unless it performs a sharp left turn, which is impossible.
I have drawn this impossible route for you, but you just don't want to admit this.

Here again is the image where I plotted your own flightpath for you, with the plane flying from the north of the Annex, north of the Citgo, then making a sharp dogleg turn to get back to the bridge.
Then, according to Robert Turcios, it had to fly up and over that road sign 470 feet north of the bridge, before turning right again to hit the pentagon.
The PURPLE LINE shows this flightpath of yours.
The many problems here include :
No plane could possibly fly this path
The damage trajectory would still be wrong even if the plane could hit the Pentagon FROM this path
Absolutely nobody (except known liar Mike Walter, who later contradicted himself many times) claimed that the plane flew over the bridge
Absolutely nobody is recorded as confirming, in first person, that they WITNESSED the plane hitting any poles
The plane flew in a RIGHT BANK as confirmed by MANY witnesses
The FAA/NORAD data has the plane flying in a RIGHT BANK
That official animation shows the red line CONTINUING OVER AND BEYOND THE PENTAGON.
Dozens of eyewitnesses were directly beneath the plane as it flew on the NORTHSIDE FLIGHTPATH.
Why do you keep claiming the "evidence" proves the plane flew over the bridge and hit lightpoles, but never produce any of this "evidence" you believe in?
Why do you not address any of this GENUINE EVIDENCE that proves the plane flew hundreds of yards N9RTH of the bridge?
