No, it is not possible. Because of the angle of penetration of an impact from the Over the Naval Annex and North of the Citgo flight path, an entirely new and different damage path would have been created into the Pentagon interior.

To determine the exact damage pattern I will also need the angles of the pitch yaw and roll of the aircraft as provided by the witnesses.
The GOLDEN DATA that Craig is missing is a close approximation as is possible as to the pitch, yaw, and role at the VERY LAST MOMENT each witness saw the plane. That data from that ONE moment is all that is required to determine the feasibility of a fly-off.
But, how do you get that in the time of Pythagoras?
Here's why I call it "hillbilly math". I went to college in Kentucky for a time. Every month or so a bunch of us on the floor of my dorm would go down into the hills of central eastern Kentucky to get some moonshine. Lame, right? Anyway, my buddy knew this moonshiner that had a still hidden on the other side of the valley from his farm. This next part is tough to visualize w/o pictures so you might have to re-read it a few times to get the picture.
His still was hidden and he had a really nifty way of determining where it was. It was so ingenious I never forgot it.
Out on the eastern edge of his farm, looking up the eastern wall of the valley, was a fence post that had a line drawn straight through the diameter. He would first ball his right hand into a fist and place it on the center of the stump so the line also dissected the center of his fist. Next he opened his left hand flat and placed the heel of his palm on the post and while keeping his hand rigid, would bring it down until it rested on top of his balled fist. The center of the heel of his palm would rest on the painted line on the stump. He then aligned the tips of his fingers to the pained line as well. He then would rest his left cheek on the top of his left hand and sight down his middle finger with his left eye. The point on the valley wall right above the tip of his finger was the exact location of the still.
What would happen if I took a polaroid picture while he was sighting down his finger? I could measure the angle of inclination made by his left hand with a protractor.
You could devise a very simple test using a similar methodology that would result in a polaroid photograph of the witness indicating the last perceived angle of the pitch yaw and roll of the aircraft. You could then measure those angles with a protractor and extrapolate the rest w/ the works of our old buddy Pythagoras.
Then you could then build an average for those values, discarding the high and low values first, with a totally scientific margin of error.

Hey Craig! Just wondering if you calculated the time from the first down light pole to the impact according to the FDR data? Is it at all possible to steer from NoC to the first street lamp?? Not steering with purpose but panic steering, trying to control the plane to target.
Also wondering if you ever considered the possibility of both a plane impact and pre-placed explosives which would be the same M.O., a duplicate of the WTC attacks??

Someone actually solved my riddle.
Craig, good luck to you in your endeavors.

Superb. So there is some indication that that information might be available.
So after all the time that Craig spent plotting the X.Y approach that he didn't plot the altitude, pitch, yaw, or roll? I have to do it?
It's an aircraft. It moves in three dimensions. X,Y, and Z as it is graphed.
Furthermore to determine how the damage pattern could be caused (or not) by the north side approach you need the final pitch, yaw, and roll of the aircraft as witnessed by each person.
How do you prove a fly-off was possible?

Also after the pull up at Hwy 27 witnessed by Robert Turcios, it would have been impossible for the aircraft to impact the 1st floor in level flight in the short remaining 700 foot distance. The aircraft could probably have impacted the 3rd or 4th floor in level flight; but that damage did not happen did it?

"Although all of these witnesses believe the aircraft impacted the building,..."
"Furthermore, these witnesses describe how they were running away from the scene for their lives and were not paying attention to what the plane did after it passed them."

Is it possible for the Pentagon attack jet to fly north of the citgo and still hit the Pentagon?
Hypothetically? Of course.
But not on 9/11 due to the physical damage.
A north of citgo approach is 100% irreconcilable with ALL of the physical damage and therefore proves the plane did not hit the building.

And to make this topical, I'll reiterate - of course it is possible for an aircraft flying north of the service station to hit the Pentagon. The physical damage, however, says that never happened, though.

Please don't evade the fact that all of your eyewitnesses either saw the jet hit the Pentagon, believe it did, and none witnessed any jet fly over and away from the Pentagon.

Yes. I believe it is possible based off viewing the map CIT shows us in his OP that the flight very well could have flew the NOC and still hit the Pentagon causing all known damages.
No one here knows for sure how fast F77 was really going, maybe it was going a lot slower on its approach than we are told.
I still however, am convinced that the wits must be wrong. Eye witness testimony is notoriously wrong after the fact, especially 6 and 7 years after the fact. So until CIT can come up with some hard evidence I have to believe the plane flew SOC.
Like I have said before CIT, you dont even have enough to take to a grand jury right now, let alone a jury of your peers.
I do wish you the best though to your mission, I always give you guys the benefit of the doubt and watch and read your posted info. I would love to see you guys find the so called smoking gun but I think your barking up the wrong tree here.
