Wouldn't surprise me, the ruski's made some decent hardware.
Please read the NORAD protocol for airliners not responding.
It basically states that any plane off cource and not repsonding becomes a threat. It had nothing to do with who was on Flight 93.

Could you provide links to the relevant documents containing the NORAD protocol?
(1) Escort aircraft aircrews are informed of the reason for the
mission and complete an armament safety check;
(2) During the approach phase, escort aircraft aircrews are vectored
so as to approach the hijacked aircraft from the rear to avoid the possibility
of being observed;
(3) Escort aircraft aircrews are kept advised of the hijacked
aircraft's heading, altitude, speed and bearing, and range from the escort
aircraft;
(4) The intercept is planned so as to position the escort aircraft at
the same altitude, speed and heading of the hijacked aircraft at a point no
closer than minimum separation to the target. The fighters will roll out 5
nautical miles in the US or 10 nautical miles in Canada directly behind the
hijacked aircraft. (Note: Separation may be reduced to 5 nautical miles in
Canada with the approval of the Region Deputy Director for Operations);
(5) When the escort aircraft are 30 nautical miles from the hijacked
aircraft, positioning instructions are confirmed (for example, "ECHO GOLF 12,
WHEN CONTACT IS ESTABLISHED, APPROACH NO CLOSER THAN 5 NAUTICAL MILES DIRECTLY
BEHIND THE TARGET AND MAINTAIN SURVEILLANCE. REMAIN OUT OF SIGHT FROM THE
COCKPIT OR CABIN AND REPORT ALL ACTIONS OBSERVED."); and
(6) Aircrews advise the control facility when the hijacked aircraft
is detected on airborne radar and when visual contact is made.
It basically states that any plane off cource and not repsonding becomes a threat.
a. For the purpose of clarity and conciseness in this regulation, the
term "hijack" will cover situations in which aircraft control is seized in
order to go somewhere other than the scheduled destination and when an
aircraft is stolen or used without permission of the owner and or Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or Transport Canada (TC) authorities.
LaBTop,
This may seem off topic but it's not.....Aren't you a proponent of "no airplane" at the Pentagon?
It is even remotely possible, that the same trick has been played on the world audience, clustered to their TV's, as at the Pentagon, where we now see more CIT evidence of a north of Citgo flightpath, which totally nullifies the officially promoted south of Citgo flight path, including the officially downed light poles, and the official damage path inside the Pentagon, in line with the downed light poles. A north of Citgo flying airliner could never ever have downed any of these light poles.
In that case, all the 9/11 official explanations are plain old lies.
So, perhaps the same trick was played at Shanksville, with a dive down of Flight 93, and a fly-over of the "impact" crater spot, and a disappearance of 93 flying low, under the radar, to another airport. While the drone or the Wardhog caused the crater, by means of physical impact, or use of explosives or rockets.

I have looked for a firm reason why the planners would have chosen the south of Citgo damage path, ever since the first CIT appearance of contradictory eyewitnesses.
In my opinion, there's only one, and just one very strong reason, corroborated by reports and Pentagon witnesses and floor plans :
The main hidden goal of the Pentagon attack were a few offices, laying in precisely ONLY that S-of-Citgo damage path, namely the Navy ONI offices, and the Army Accounting offices, and their main-frames with all the data in it. And probably a few other Military Intelligence offices, indicated on several maps.
Remember, the Pentagon very quickly announced that there was no backup of these data, and they expected to need up to 7 years to reconcile that data, if ever possible to retract it ever.

There is no mention of loss of communication or deviation from course.
It is standard operating procedure (SOP) to scramble jet fighters whenever a jetliner goes off course or radio contact with it is lost. Between September 2000 and June 2001, interceptors were scrambled 67 times. 1 In the year 2000 jets were scrambled 129 times.
If the 9/11 conspirators were using real airplanes (remote controlled stand-ins for the commercial flights) there would have been absolutely no reason to plant evidence, stage fallen light poles, or anything else that indicated a certain approach path to the Pentagon. They would have just crashed the actual commercial airplane look-alike into the building? Right?
No, see my above post about ONI and the Accounting offices for a strong possibility.
I haven't read your work on all the bizzare connections and oddities surrounding the event but I'm familiar with many of them, recognize their significance, and have suggested to others, many times, that this is where their efforts should be focused...not on flight paths, fake phone calls, north or south of Citgo, demands for pictures of airplane parts, melting steel..bla bla bla....
DAAAHHH, do i have to do all the research for you. Are you that immature? Do you need me to take you by the hand and lead you through the research? Do you need me to post the NORAD sites for you? Seems like i need to.

Please do research, there is no reason to be afraid of the truth.
Today, any aircraft with radio problems is suspect, no problem routine. Fighter jets are scrambled to babysit suspect aircraft or "unknowns" three or four times a day. Before Sept. 11, that happened twice a week.
Last year, there were 425 unknowns -- pilots who didn't file or diverted from flight plans or used the wrong frequency. Jets were scrambled 129 times.

Weren't you the one I had a few pages of interesting opposition with, regarding your proposed possibility of a north of Citgo flying plane, eye-witnessed by CIT's interviewees, making a sharp S-turn past the Citgo, so it could thus fly coming north of Citgo, but still topple all those lightpoles on a south of Citgo flight path?
The only argument you could bring in for the downed light poles beside blowing them up and down by hidden explosives, would be a flock of cruise missiles with short wings, hitting those poles on their way in.
To me such hitting seems extraordinarily unreasonable, planners would have foreseen such occurrences, and lead the missiles in from a slightly higher angle of attack, and still opt for the blow-up of the poles, or pre-planting them shortly in advance. Cruise missiles can be pre-programmed with an exceptional level of preciseness.
Especially above such well known property.

NORAD did not monitor domestic flights before September 11. They did monitor 7000 daily international flights flying through the ADIZ as well as performing drug interdiction along the southern border. How many of the 129 intercepts performed were due to loss of radio or deviation from course?

How is it we have no witnesses that saw a "flock" of cruise missiles? From which aircraft were these cruise missiles fired?
