One might think the an NZ Air Force pilot who flew a multi-million dollar plane at 350 nautical miles an hour that close to the ground would have landed and been greeted by a courts-martial.

Sure looked like 350 knots to me. There is another version of the same airshow, with the soundtrack and the event announcer mentioning the speed. This is how the audience knew what was happening.
Also, the climb at the end is the result of all that excess speed...that's how it works, trading excess speed for altitude. It is a short-term event, though.
BTW, the maximum (Vmo) speed (it is merely a published Limitation...all airplanes have some figure to use as a guide) for the 757 is 360 knots. It is well within the capability of the airplane.
Now......This is silly:
If air forces could get a 757 or 767 to fly at tree top level at 350 knots then the A-10 would have have never been developed.
I am at a loss for words, there...it is so absurd.
"We" could have just slung two Howitzers under a 737 and saved billions.
Yeah. Riiiiiiight.
Seriously, if a 757 can fly 350 knots, slightly higher than a radio anenna on a jeep then it could drop a bowling ball on a tank and knockit out.
SRSLY? A bowling ball?

You my friend do not know what type of Thermite was used or how it was applied; no one does for that matter. What we do know is enough thermite was found in the WTC dust sample that proves Thermite was one of the ingredients that were used and it had no business being in the dust sample to begin with.
Most ATS members know your unhealthy stance on any outside science that doesn’t support the pseudo-science of NIST.
I suppose all these people are liars to?
Information that you seem to ignore.

I know that your belief system is challenged every time someone does not accept demolition as a cause of collapse, but take heart; there may be some evidence, somewhere, laying undiscovered on a youtube video waiting for a "researcher" to find.
That is untrue; however since you are so interested in my belief system instead of the OP or our conversation I find it amusing that you believe that I depend on YouTube videos for my truth. What does my beliefs systems have to do with your” opinions” to what you believe happened to the WTC?
At lease my belief system do not subscribe to 911 fairytales and outrages NIST lies that you so dearly have been defending year after year.
I have asked you a number of questions and you completely ignore them, typical response from one who defends the pseudo NIST report.
What experts are claiming “200 milliseconds”?
Experts in simple arithmetic are claiming less than 200 milliseconds per floor.
Although only red paint was found in the dust sample, it really wouldn't matter what type of thermite was claimed; no thermite acts consistently fast enough to clear a floor as fast as the gravitational collapse.
Certainly there were some things exploding in the towersTransformers, fire extinguishers, and sealed containers of all sorts exploded. That does not equate to demolition.
Your statement about 'fairy tales' and 'outrageous NIST lies' is consistent with your desire for a conspiracy. I don't know what you mean by a 'pseudo NIST report.'

Wing planform
The wing planform is the silhouette of the wing when viewed from above or below.
See also Variable geometry types which vary the wing planform during flight.
[edit] Aspect ratio
Main article: Aspect ratio (wing)
The aspect ratio is the span divided by the mean or average chord.[5] It is a measure of how long and slender the wing appears when seen from above or below.
Low aspect ratio - short and stubby wing. More efficient structurally, more maneuverable[citation needed] and with less drag at high speeds.[citation needed] They tend to be used by fighter aircraft, such as the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter, and by very high-speed aircraft (e.g. North American X-15).
Moderate aspect ratio - general-purpose wing (e.g. the Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star).
High aspect ratio - long and slender wing. More efficient aerodynamically, having less drag, at low speeds. They tend to be used by high-altitude subsonic aircraft (e.g. the Lockheed U-2), subsonic airliners (e.g. the Bombardier Dash 8) and by high-performance sailplanes (e.g. Glaser-Dirks DG-500).
Yes....he is. Balsamo is. His "highly qualified assemblage" are primarily just names that once in the past signed on to his BS playhouse....but don't actively participate any more. Sadly for them, their names are still being trotted out. Must be embarrassing for them.

Again, I will ask you who are all these experts ? Your comment are nothing but your “opinions.”
Although only red paint was found in the dust sample, it really wouldn't matter what type of thermite was claimed; no thermite acts consistently fast enough to clear a floor as fast as the gravitational collapse.
There you go again making up fallacies that all Jones found in the dust samples was red paint and nothing else. Not only are you being disingenuous you are telling a big fallacy against proven science. Shame on you!
Certainly there were some things exploding in the towersTransformers, fire extinguishers, and sealed containers of all sorts exploded. That does not equate to demolition.
I am glad that you agree there were explosions in the WTC as to your opinion I do not doubt those thing you say did explode, however those thing alone would not be enough energy to bring down all three WTC. What experts on A&E are claiming that there is too much energy, right from the onset?
Your statement about 'fairy tales' and 'outrageous NIST lies' is consistent with your desire for a conspiracy. I don't know what you mean by a 'pseudo NIST report.'
Your statement of the WTC just naturally falling down do to office fires and jet fuel is also consistent with your desire for the OS conspiracy. How does that work for you?
You do not know what “pseudo” means?
Yes NIST is a proven “pseudo” report.
Yes, I stand by my definition “pseudo” like I believe it's possible that you could be a “pseudo” chemist, your arguments are illogical.
The fact is for any anyone to accept your conspiracy one must throw away all logic.
I see you still have ignored my source and I again I will ask you, do you believe all these people are liars?
Your refusal to answer this question will tell me that you believe that they are mostly telling the truth and you will not answer on the grounds their stories do not support the OS and your conspiracy theory in what you want people to believe.

If there's one thing Truthers have proven in 10 years it's that there are idiots in every profession. No profession is immune to having the politically disenchanted, the senile, the mentally disturbed and just plain stupid people. It occurs randomly in all professions.
If you keep touting how your tree fort gang are so credible we might just have to start posting how most of the bigger names among truthers and well known Internet Sites have BOTH banned and rejected the stupid theories of CIT and the pronouncements from the pfffft group that you're so proud of...
Is there a reason you're not addressing "Operation Accountability". It's been quite a while now for that to produce results, but there's no information that I can find. You're not ashamed of the results are you? After all, winning these Debates that is the topic of this thread ought to be accomplishing something. I'm having a difficult finding something worthwhile that has been accomplished. I know the answer, but your ashamed to talk about it, aren't you.....edit on 19-11-2011 by Reheat because: (no reason given)

IF you would go back and follow the conversation.....the point of those videos (and, notice that they were not all fighters) ..... the point was to use as a reference to another video that showed a Boeing 757 at an Air Show. The 757 high speed flyby was at 350 knots.
Some people couldn't grasp that, or said it didn't "look" like that speed.
Those other videos then were to be used for comparisons, because each of them had a verifiable speed associated with it, for the airplane being featured.
I realize that not everyone has the experience to judge just from one video, so using several helps (hopefully) to let them wrap their minds around the concept, and the comparative appearance.
This thread was, and still is, about the events at the Pentagon. Solely. Assertions that American 77 could not fly as fast as it did, at low altitudes were made. Now, those claims have been refuted. Many times over.

1. The aircraft obviously wouldn't have been carrying the alleged fuel load of "Flight 77" of 82336 kg
That's funny (yes, I check out these things for myself), but Pilotsfor911Truth has had a steady stream of membership over the years ever since they were formed.
2. That aircraft flew in on a shallow descent (almost level).
Did "Flight 77" according to the NTSB released (alleged) FDR data? Or did it need a rapid, sharp descent and pull up? (Funny enough your video actually shows how it was more likely that a flyover was possible!)
Funnily enough the aircraft in the video is flying within its limits according to the flight safety envelope you keep denying!
Vg diagram for a T-38, how would we fake it using a T-37 diagram? Someone needs to explain to Balsamo you can't fake a Vg diagram for an aircraft just adding numbers to another Vg diagram.

Balsamo makes up his diagram. He takes numbers from one aircraft and insert them in a generic Vg diagram. TiffanyInLa/Balsamo took a Vg diagram like this. Exactly like this one.
i286.photobucket.com...
Arbitrarily added speeds from a 767 to make it a fake 767 Vg diagram. Balsamo explains this is what he did and then claims 990 broke up in-flight, which is a lie which dovetails with the fake Vg diagram.
i286.photobucket.com...
Balsamo, posing as a girl sock at ATS and other forums, took a Vg diagram and inserted Vspeeds for a 767. Making up evidence to support his delusions, hiding behind a sock.
