I could be wrong, but part of the math was to include the plane being able to pull up and over the pentagon.

So unless you can point out the errors in the math presented, you have no choice but to concede.

1st hand accounts are evidence and that is ALL we cite for the north side approach.
We know for a fact that the confirmed witnesses who were really there and really exist unanimously support a north side approach.
Regardless....this thread is about the MATH for the north side approach.

Okay, here it is
Since there are, in fact errors (using your logic) you have no choice but to conceed there was no fly over.
INCLUDING the fact that your witnesses saw the aircraft hit the building.
AND 11 of them state they saw the aircraft hit the building.
So stick with the thread then, and reconcile how your "math and physics" help a 90-ton airliner traveling 700 feet per second make that turn around the NEX service station to end up "50 to less than 100 feet" above the South Parking , unseen by anyone in the parking lot of a building that houses 25,000 people with thye lone exception of one (1) Pentagon policeman.
I know you don't like to and can't answer my questions, Craig, without anything but hand-waving, but I'd appreciate it if you could this time.

So what's it going to be? NoC and staged light poles then?

Please answer mine without hand waving.

At any rate, this is nothing more than the latest, sad commentary by a handful of people who are more obsessed with what another handful of posters on JREF think, than actually doing anything to bring so-called "perps" to justice.
This thread is supposed to be about the math presented by PfT. However PfT first presented a web page with math for a flight path that they dragged up putting the aircraft flying over the VDOT tower. That math was shown to be in gross error by Reheat and Mackey. PfT then complained that this was bogus because the flight path does not line up with the FDR data. A clear case of setting a goal post then moving it when it is inconvienient.
In the latest case they were tasked with showing the math for a flight path that would satify the eyewitness accounts. This they have accomplished by ignoring some eyewitness accounts completely, to the point of denying some of them even exist(nothing exists unless the CiT 'confirmed' it) and grossly rewriting details given by others, most notably Morin's but also Boger, Paik, Brooks, Lagasse and Turcois.
The plane was described as being over Morin and parallel to Columbia Pike whereas the range of flight paths shown never has the plane in a position by which Morin would be describing it that way.
Boger states clearly that he saw it hit the Pentagon and he was a mere several dozen feet from the port wing of the aircraft.
Paik points to the direction the plane went which corressponds to where morin says he saw it coming from and not along the path he drew of the Navy Annex which he(Paik) could not see from his location. Paik also states he thought it had clipped the VDOT tower.
Brooks, Lagasse, and Turcois all describe a very low, very fast passage of the aircraft and many describe the sound as having the engines at high throttle.
So whereas the math they present does seem to be accurate for the path they used, the path does not corresspond to the path described by their witnesses. Turcois states that the plane was no longer visible to him because it was below his line of sight beyond the embankment/roadway, many many others describe 'tree top' level or only a few dozen feet agl as it passed them.
PfT then needs to show that the aircraft can not only perform the turn but while doing so also perform a pull up and over from an altitude of say 45 feet agl as it passes over the highway
AND most importantly,
the CiT must show how such a manouver can be hidden from the view of every single solitary onlooker to the degree that some actually believed that the aircraft not only hit the Pentagon but that it hit the lower floors.

Again Craig, you asked for a rebuttal here it is. For my ADHD challenged breathern: the bottom line is PFT/CIT use a two dimensional equation for a three dimensional problem. It's that simple.
