Are you suggesting yoiu have heard of people in the pentagon COURTYARD that saw the plane??

people there I suppose, as there usually is. I questioned him about it twice since I wondered about his visability at an upward angle. Please elucidate the relevance of it.

Any REAL airline people in here that can calculate the G's it would take to pull a 757 over the pentagon at the last second going at 400-500 mph?

Using the following Google frames and a still frame from Pilots for 9-11 Truth I will show what I believe to be "Smoking Gun" evidence that AA 77 was seen approaching on the North side of the Citgo and still managed to take down the light poles and enter the bldg on the trajectory indicated by the column damage.

Wouldn't flying "through" an explosion like that disrupt the flight of the plane? To steal a phrase someone used earlier: send it cartwheeling?

According to some feedback I've read from John Lear, the tight turns required to have had AA77 fly just over the north of Citgo and still make to banking turns pass nearly over the light poles seems to be theoretically possible although would subject the airplane to high G's, and there are doubts if the alleged hijacker could have performed the manuever.

That's pretty funny stuff darkbluesky.
Why don't you illustrate that on a closer image and see what John has to say about that?
Like how about using these two.....
And remember.....it has to stay low and not hit any other poles either!

what about the tree?
surely a plane coming that close would of sent the leaves/branches flying
what about that sign that hangs OVER the road, surely if it hit the lightpole sugested, it would of hit that sign too......

Federation of American Scientists
Another aspect of overpressure occurring in air bursts is the phenomenon of Mach reflections, called the "Mach Effect." When a bomb is detonated at some distance above the ground, the reflected wave catches up to and combines with the original shock wave, called the incident wave, to form a third wave that has a nearly vertical front at ground level. This third wave is called a "Mach Wave" or "Mach Stem," and the point at which the three waves intersect is called the "Triple Point." The Mach Stem grows in height as it spreads laterally, and as the Mach Stem grows, the triple point rises, describing a curve through the air. In the Mach Stem the incident wave is reinforced by the reflected wave, and both the peak pressure and impulse are at a maximum that is considerably higher than the peak pressure and impulse of the original shock wave at the same distance from the point of explosion. Using the phenomenon of Mach reflections, it is possible to increase considerably the radius of effectiveness of a bomb. By detonating a warhead at the proper height above the ground, the maximum radius at which a given pressure or impulse is exerted can be increased, in some cases by almost 50%, over that for the same bomb detonated at ground level. The area of effectiveness, or damage volume, may thereby be increased by as much as 100%.

From what I know and what I have seen in the pictures they were real close if not in the same position from where they were standing before, and that is uncacceptable if in deed a comercial airplane did hit those poles.
