Lets also remind people to think for them selves, however if you think that is not proof that is your opinion only, thank you.
I'll remind you that I am asking for for people here to provide verifiable eyewitness testimony that an jet aircraft was seen flying low and at high speed over and away from the Pentagon as claimed by CIT and P4T as clearly presented in the first post of this thread.
Please read carefully so that you do not confuse the C-130 and E4B for the postulated aircraft under discussion.
Any evidence that you can provide to support CIT's claims of a flyover is welcomed.

Yes, I did... In fact your quote and my post are different because in re-reading what I posted I realized I was in total error.
You posted as I was correcting what I had said.

Didn't you forget something? Didn't Turcios describe an aircraft pull up at the Hwy 27 overhead sign? How can a large aircraft pull up and still hit the building 1st floor? Since no light poles were knocked down along that flight path, then the aircraft had to be 40+ feet above ground level along that entire flight path. Correct?

Based on my professional experience I am 100% convinced of 2 things:
* Ranke is an awful investigator and interrogator
* Ranke is, at this point in time, motivated more from ego than a search for real facts
Peer review is a fundamental component in all research. It's peer review that Mr. Ranke cannot deal with as one would expect from someone with what one would think would be "truther motivation".
Yeah, I give no qualifications about my personal experience, but I'd be happy to verify who I work for if you really care that much. My title is Sr. Research Analyst and I stare at other people's science all day long.

LOL you had addressed Pinch, but I left my opinion anyway.

EDIT: Note the difference between the top of the Pentagon from the top of the sign. "A little bit" still puts a portion of the aircraft below the roof of the Pentagon from Turcios's angle. It is completely plausible that after clearing the sign that the plane nosed down into the 1st floor. However we don't know how much "a little bit" is since Ranke never bothered to follow up to clarify.
As retired Naval aviator and commercial airline pilot Ted Muga says:
"The maneuver at the Pentagon was just a tight spiral coming down out of 7,000 feet. And a commercial aircraft, while they can in fact structurally somewhat handle that maneuver, they are very, very, very difficult. And it would take considerable training. In other words, commercial aircraft are designed for a particular purpose and that is for comfort and for passengers and it's not for military maneuvers. And while they are structurally capable of doing them, it takes some very, very talented pilots to do that. ...
When a commercial airplane gets that high, it get very, very close to getting into what you refer to as a speed high-speed stall. And a high-speed stall can be very, very violent on a commercial-type aircraft and you never want to get into that situation. I just can't imagine an amateur even being able to come close to performing a maneuver of that nature.
***
Commercial airplanes are very, very complex pieces of machines. And they're designed for two pilots up there, not just two amateur pilots, but two qualified commercial pilots up there. And to think that you're going to get an amateur up into the cockpit and fly, much less navigate, it to a designated target, the probability is so low, that it's bordering on impossible."

Hilarious.
The simple point that obviously eludes this cogburn character is that if the plane is ANYWHERE near where Robert Turcios and 12 other independent witnesses who corroborate him place it then we know for a fact that it did not hit the building.
ANYWHERE between the station and ANC 100% proves a flyover and this is what they all unanimously report.

Perhaps you could explain to every person's satisfaction how a large aircraft could pull up and still hit the 1st floor of the Pentagon?

It's simple. Independent corroboration proves conclusively that the plane flew on the North Side and pulled up, yet the physical evidence disagrees. Answer? Flyover. Why do so many people have trouble figuring this out

I'm sorry, I have proven that it may very well be consistent in another thread.
