ok.. Ok... Lemme get this straight... You show pics from the day it happened, you have no hole because the window casings withstood the impact with windows gone - and claim the "hole" still has casings intact because of blast-resistant windows.

Thats because the windows on this side of the Pentagon had been replaced with blast resistant windows to
prevent shattering in case of truck bomb blast outside

Doesn't look like all gates have the same long/lat to me weed..
Can everyone see, there? In case you didn't know, ONE minute of latitude is just about equal to ONE nautical mile....about 6,076 feet. The IRS coordinates are just "roughly" to rounded tenths of a minute. Every tenth of a minute, is about 600-610 feet.
N644AA (American Airlines Flight 77) was not equipped with a GPS. However, when one looks through the data, it shows a GPS as "OPERational"(12) and an airborne auto-alignment. How can a GPS be "OPER" if the data is reported to come from an aircraft which doesn't have a GPS? The data shows that the Lat/Long plots auto-aligned with Radar plots in flight after departure(9)

Playing the devil's advocate here, can someone supply some forensic data that places flight 77 at the Pentagon?
Shouldn't we prove the existence of an aircraft before arguing about the details of the flight of the aircraft?

First.....do you have the ACTUAL Jeppesen 10-9/9A....

Figures Washington airport would have runways configured in a masonic shape..
BTW, that's not the info weedy wanted..
Did weedy make a mistake and ask for the wrong data sheet.??

Such evidence does not exist, and as a matter of fact, an overwhelming amount of evidence has been uncovered which disputes such a theory.
Read the article linked in the OP. I also highly recommend reading through the sources/footnotes of that article.
The primary structure of the Pentagon is 42,420 steel-reinforced concrete columns. Of these, only 32 were destroyed and 15 seriously damaged. As recovery efforts continue, the structure is being shored up with pressure-treated wood posts to protect against further collapses.

Just google 'Jeppesen Legend' if you wish to learn how weedy is full of BS and technobabble, and the reason he will never confront a real pilot.

The Lat/Longs of all the runways are in the database, just for that quick "update"....
"There is a big difference between updating a position.. ok..., which is not a problem at all, and Re-Aligning an IRS in flight which is not possible :=."
"If the Present Position is incorrect when the INS is initialized, it will NOT "re-align" itself! It should be shut down and re-initialized with the correct Present Position."
"No IRS realign in flight, ... alignement realign requires the platform to be stable. no acceleration, no movement, sometimes the movement created by loading container is enough to screw up the align process, on a modern Airliner."
"When you start in the morning, you tell it where it is. Either by telling it the gate position or by giving it the GPS position."
BUT, it doesn't immediately "re-set" the displayed/recorded POS info!!! The computer "keeps" that in its memory, and uses it to gradually refine the POS data....along with the normal "radio updating" that goes on, transparent to the crew, whenever the EHSI switches are NOT in VOR or ILS selections:

Actually, it wasn't. And it all started when weedwhacker attempted technobable with "10-9/9A" to support his argument regarding Gate lat/long. Any real pilot who has flown Domestically would have never confused published lat/long Gate coordinates with a "10-9/9A" Plate for Washington Dulles Gate coordinates.
First, 10-9 is the Airport diagram for Reagan National (DCA), 10-9A is the back of that chart showing runway information and Take-off mins. Every real Domestic USA pilot knows this based on the Jepp Chart code alone.
I'm sure Weedwhacker will do his best to try and spin his errors, but any real pilot knows that IAD is the second airport in the line-up for Jepp charts in the DC Area, and has been that way for decades. Therefore without even looking up the charts, real pilots will know weedwhacker is full of crap when he requests Gate lat/long coordinates on a "10-9/9A" Jepp plate published for IAD. It doesn't exist and never has.
This is getting highly technical (and I will be glad to spell it out if people ask), but it is part of the reason weedwhacker will never confront a real pilot and remains here to only dupe those who have no aircraft training whatsoever, while real verified pilots from P4T, actually place their name to their claims, and the list grows.
weedwhacker is the "aviation king" at ATS. I will never dispute that as most of his opposition is banned (and I probably will be as well, eventually). But he will never be the Aviation King in a real court of law or a face to face debate, or even "Hangar Flying", with a real pilot.
He will run and hide when the time comes to face the music. Mark my words.edit on 5-3-2011 by rjh01a because: (no reason given)

Type 2: Introduce irrelevant & dead-end confusion Whenever possible, the disinformant will introduce new facts or clues designed to conflict with opponent presentations — as useful tools to neutralize sensitive issues or impede resolution to establishing the whole truth. These may bring in new doubts, purposely fuel confusion, or send followers after red-herrings on a path of endless information which leads nowhere important. All the time spent investigating the dead-end, is time NOT spent investigating the critical topics.
