Further evidence that you have no experience flying airplanes.
None of these vids you guys post is first floor altitude. In fact if memory serves the hole in the Pentagon is low enough to walk into and none of these show a plane low enough to impact at that level. Only a crash would be that low and yet according to you all it was flown in.
Did you even watch the NTSB video? At 2 seconds, or just under, away from impact [that is where the video freezes, because the final data was not properly decoded by NTSB, they were in a hurry to have it ready so people could visualize the event].....at that point where the data became corrupted, the airplane was at 180 feet MSL (Mean Sea Level). The elevation of the land at the Pentagon is near Sea Level, perhaps 20 or 30 feet above.
Therefore, the jet was still about 150 feet above the ground. Descending on a gradual trajectory and angle that ended at impact point, as low as he could aim. In their planning they probably decided that was the way to inflict the most damage, for that building. They selected that side, and approach method too because of the highway, Route 244, also known as Columbia Pike. Look at maps, and see how following that highway takes you along the exact course to impact.
It was chosen for that reason, most likely, and was an easy landmark to choose from the air, and use to assist the aim.
Amazing capability coming from an inexperienced pilot with no flying time behind the stick of a plane that performed miraculously.
Another false assertion, and indicates that you have no flying experience in order to understand why this is moot, and incorrect.
There was nothing "miraculous" about a descending turn to the right. That was ll he did....he flew over the Pentagon to find it, then a wide, lazy turn to the right to acquire the highway as a guide to go back in for the hit.
It really is no different than finding an airport.....it can be the same principle (and, even if he was a crap pilot, in terms of finesse and style, he WAS a pilot). The technique can be used for landing at an (uncontrolled) airport. It is also a procedure trained for and used by military pilots.
It is very simple....you fly over-head the point on the ground (Pentagon, in this case) that you are aiming for, and then make a constant-bank turn. A constant bank gives you a constant radius (ignoring wind effects, the winds were light, so they aren't important).
At his speed in that turn, it was a wide radius....and when he'd completed the turn, he could see the Pentagon (target) out in the distance, just as you'd see your runway the same way, if you were using it for a landing pattern technique.
The only people who say that turn was *miraculous* are people who have no idea what they're talking about----or, have an agenda of some sort, and are willing to repeat the lie to laypersons, in order to perpetuate this myth.

.....maybe mind you, one day they'll let you fly one of them 'jets'.

and once again in case you missed my repeated asking this question linked in my siggy, why the need to lie if there is nothing to coverup.
The fact that a lie is put forth for the public to buy into is where all my suspicions are raised and I do not blindly fall into plausibility, I am asking for proof. All you do is regurgitate the same story and that also isn't proof. People lie, that is obvious yet you base your entire premise upon the word of others rather than tangible evidence,... evidence that is without dispute in the link in my siggy of obvious lie and attempted coverup.
You imply I am doing this to sell books or t-shirts or tour dates what may I ask is your motive in perpetuating the lie? Do not go off on another tangent, just address the one question of why did Popular Mechanics lie and if you can explain that adequately I will cease my questioning in an instant becasue all I want is the truth not conjecture or possible scenario, the truth

When will you acknowledge the fact that that information is without verification? The investigators, by their own admission in at least one case, were not allowed to properly investigate what really took place. So, the whole investigation is tarnished. Ergo, we need a new investigation, and all your efforts to prop up this one,are useless. Your story is crumbling by the day.
first off the report of the stolen helicopter was made once on 911 by the MSM so don't imply I imagine anything.
Second you imply a gradual descent that doesn't explain the level flight to take out the light poles so lets be honest here that it was low enough to affect what was on the ground, grass included at supposed impact site
You come off like you have all the answers so once again ad nauseum, why the need to lie about any of it?

Why do you guys always seem to have things that would seem to support the OS at your fingertips, but have a very hard time explaining your reluctance to question anything 'official'. That doesn't seem natural to me.

Give me an example of a "Popular Mechanics lie". Up unti now the only "lies" I've seen were claims the supposed "OS" never made to begin with; they were complete inventions the truthers made up themselves. Does "Stand down order" ring a bell?

Citation?

How tall were those light poles? Think about it, and then recall those videos of commercial airliners performing at air shows. They were low enough that had there been light poles, they could have hit them. American 77's path was only low for the last final seconds, and there was nothing "on the grass" to be affected! He hit a large generator that was parked just outside the Pentagon. Hit it with the right engine, but that was just a fraction of a second before the airplane hit the building.
You come off like you have all the answers so once again ad nauseum, why the need to lie about any of it?
I do not lie about anything. And, when it comes to understanding the actual aspects of the flying, I do know the answers, since I have the experience to understand how it happened, and even how easy it was to do.
I could put you, even with zero experience, into a simulator and coach you a bit....wouldn't take long, you'd get the hang of it quickly, and you would be able to aim and steer the jet to a crash too.

Friendly debate technique, really.
When will you understand why people don't have any respect for 9/11 truthers?
