In a parallel to the real-life September 11, 2001, attacks seven years after the book's publication, the book ends with an embittered Japanese airline pilot crashing his Boeing 747 into the U.S. Capitol building during a joint session of Congress with the President attending. He does this to avenge the deaths of his brother and son during the war. This paves the way for Ryan, who has just been appointed Vice President, to become President in the next book, Executive Orders.
I remembered reading that both planes to hit the towers were Boing 767s, as was the one that hit the Pentagon. After looking at the wikipedia article, en.wikipedia.org... , about Boeing 767s, I was a bit surprised that 767s (KC-767) are also sold to the military to be used as Tankers to refuel their jets mid air... So the military had the jets, jets with way more fuel in them too..

The Air Force One tagging video was purely fake. It was ONLY done on the computer, not on the real plane. You won't get anywhere NEAR Air Force One when it's on the ground. They have walking patrols that go around the plane 180 degrees from each other, and Secret Service parked at the nose with a landline for calling reinforcements.

[...] The exact people who were developing a technology that would allow the remote control of passenger aircraft happened to be on those planes. [...] or the planes themselves were not actually passenger aircraft but something else.
And I got to thinking...
[...] 767s (KC-767) are also sold to the military to be used as Tankers to refuel their jets mid air... So the military had the jets, jets with way more fuel in them too...
[...] Then I remembered a video of Mark Echo tagging Air Force One from a while back
[...] if Mark Echo can get someone to paint a 747 to look like Airforce One, I am sure the military could paint some 767s to look like American and United aircraft... And then 'disappear' the creators of the technology.... I don't know....
Why did Dick Cheney not order all the 'hijacked' planes shot down?

That is why I referenced Cheney in the title... he was in charge of the wargames...
