Except.....this is perfectly representative of the misrepresentations of facts used to confuse the issue.... (not your fault, perhaps....maybe you are just too much of a "fan" of a delusion) .....:
......line up with the directional damage.
American Airlines 77 DID NOT not fly "over" the Navy Annex in the sight picture displayed, there (^ ^ ^)...
I just did not happen.
Anyone, at all, who has actually been to the area can clearly see the path, and with his or her own eyes survey the terrain. Take a ride up the elevators in many buildings, and gander even more (I have)....the Residence Inn Arlington Pentagon City, a Marriott property, gives a good vantage point.....the elevators empty to a PERFECT view for the vantage. Check out each floor's view....
But, it's best to just WALK the area.......I suggest starting at the Sheraton National Hotel and walking down the street....down past the Navy Annex, on Columbia Pike....it's a slight down-hill walk, from the Sheraton.
Really, just go there, and walk around.....it is illuminating..........
Okay, I'll spell it out for you Proudbird. Morin and many more witnesses place the aircraft over the Navy Annex.....

No, it is something that amounted to perspective and a trick of angle, and distance, per the individual witnesses:

Now, as to the LEGGE de-code....it is fine.
Even the overhead Google Maps screen capture, with the big yellow "push-pins" in it show (at "Frame 151365") still south and east of the Annex building.
However, the plots are ALL from the FDR.....and the FDR only "knows" what it is told by the IRUs......and there are THREE IRUs.......so, which IRU is giving the positional data that is ultimately recorded by the FDR?? Is the Left, the Center, or the Right IRU?? Or, is the "Triple Mix" position (a nebulous "position" derived by an interpretative program of all three IRU inputs) the one that is provided to the FDR?
Do you know? If so, please enlighten us.
By the way......for American Airlines 77, the IRUs did NOT....I repeat, did NOT have GPS updating, and thus there is a rather large margin of error in their positional data, as recorded.
ANY real airline pilot who is familiar with how these systems work, today and back then, would know and understand this simple fact.
Sorry if you have been "bamboozled" and fooled by the charlatans at "PfffffT"......I do not know you, but if I may make a suggestion?
Talk to some real pilots. Politely.

Hmm... ATS Staff really do not want me posting here. Instead, they will only allow those to libel me.
Wonder why that is?

ALL of the rest, the nonsense distractions about "EAS" (Equivalent Air Speed...something only pertinent to aerodynamics engineers), "Dutch Roll" (something that is related to high Air Speeds at HIGH altitude/thin air situations) and "Mach Tuck" (again, only associated when actually nearing the speed of sound, for the environment the airplane is in....NONE of the 9/11 airplanes got anywhere near to the speed of sound for their environment)....
