On the 31st July 1944 a U.S.N. special air unit, codenamed Project Anvil, moved to Fersfield from Dunkeswell in Devon. The mission was to involve the use of explosive-laden PB4Y-1 Liberator bombers under radio control. The crew of two, Lt Joe Kennedy (pilot), and Lt. Wilford John Willy (radio control technician/co-pilot), were to take off with 21,150 lbs of Torpex in 347 boxes and establish radio control of the Liberator by a Ventura mother-ship. Once full control was established and tested, at a pre-determined point the crew would parachute from the aircraft through the nose wheel bay emergency exit and the bomber would continue the rest of its mission under radio control, finally crashing onto the target.

You are assuming a lot of things. We don't know, and never will know, why the hi-jack happened 46 minutes into the flight. They were a man short on that flight and perhaps had to be more careful with their timing. I suspect they waited for flight attendants to offer the flight crew refreshments and burst in then.
If you think it was a deliberate delay this doesn't make sense because UA 93 took off 42 minutes late. So, to keep to schedule, they should have taken over the plane 3 minutes in.
You are also assuming the hi-jackers knew exactly when the Towers would fall. I haven't seen any evidence that anyone in the world knew that.
You haven't addressed why the plane was on a steady south east heading, to Washington, until the last minutes when we do know from the cockpit voice recorder that the passengers were attempting to take back the plane. Nor why the hi-jackers had dialled up the VOR for Reagan National Airport.
And why on earth should a plan of such complexity, depending on the Towers falling at precise times, be devised to take out a building most had never heard of ?
- You're also assuming I mean 'hijackers' literally as in the 19 hijackers of the official story.
- By hijackers, we don't even know the planes were hijacked. They may well have been, they could also have been controlled remotely- the technology to hijack a plane remotely has been around for years.
- I don't for one second think the 19 hijackers listed carried out these hijackings, the Pentagon hit is impossible for an amateur pilot. Alfie, do you think an amateur pilot unable to control a small plane could navigate a plane the size of a Boeing into the Pentagon with the flight path it took?
- Regarding the direction of the plane, it was heading east, and actually adjusted course slightly and headed directly to New York for 5-6 minutes before 'crashing'. The flight path illustrations show this.
- So I guess it was just another coincidence of events they waited just long enough into the flight that meant a flight back to WTC7 would happen approx twenty minutes after both towers had collapsed and left a flight path into WTC7? Coincidence right?

Listen , there is pilots who say they couldnt make the manouvers that those planes did that day
I agree. Pilots know best the capabilities of their aircraft. During WWII Kamikaze planes flew into moving ships piloted by boys, some with just a few hours of flight time. They trained for these attacks in twin seated trainers and weren't taught to land either. The instructor landed for them at the end of their "lesson". Sound familiar?
A robot plane has made aviation history by becoming the first unmanned aircraft to fly across the Pacific Ocean.
...
The Global Hawk, a jet-powered aircraft with a wingspan equivalent to a Boeing 737, flew from Edwards Air Force Base in California and landed late on Monday at the Royal Australian Air Force base at Edinburgh, in South Australia state.
...
The Global Hawk flies along a pre-programmed flight path, but a pilot monitors the aircraft during its flight via a sensor suite which provides infra-red and visual images.

The many phone calls from passengers to loved ones, speaking of the hi-jacking, must have been faked in some fabulous way.

The flight data recorder which shows the final desperate manoeuvres and the fatal dive which tie in with the cvr must have been faked.
One air traffic controller with the help of an assistant monitored the two Boeing 767s that toppled the World Trade Center, the employee said.
The same controller handled Egypt Air Flight 990 when it crashed off the coast of Massachusetts in 1999, the employee said. The controller is "pretty disturbed" that he lost both planes, the employee said.
The point of this video is many lies were told in the 9/11 commission's report. The 9/11 commission doesn't state 93 was shot down. The 9/11 truthers have been saying ever since that day it was shot down. This confession coupled with so much other evidence helps to prove what we've known for years. When you do the research and stop relying on assumptions.....it is a no brainer. Chris Wallace mentions a very specific plane when he says to Dick "You are the one that gave the direct order to shoot down a plane that you were told as it turns out incorrectly was headed for Washington". Dick goes on to prove it was 93 when he mentions the other 3 planes in question on that day. That 3 being the 2 planes that went into the towers and the 3rd plane that allegedly went into the Pentagon. That left only 1 plane and that plane was 93.

There were rumors that the hijackers had no interest in landing, yet that's essentially what Flight 77 had to do to hit the Pentagon. Is it just irony or discrediting to your theory? You decide

What's funny about this is all the contradictory statements within one conspiracy theory. So the plane was shot down because it was heading for WTC 7 but since it got shot down, they just blew it up?

Don't see what would have been a "schedule" problem. UA 93 went down at 10.03 127 miles from Washington. It could easily have arrived in Washington and crashed into the Capitol before the North WTC Tower fell at 10.28.

If you are going to eliminate hijackers from the equation and insert radio-control I think that , in common truther tradition, you haven't considered what must flow from that. It means that maintenance staff at United Airlines were in on it. You would expect the aircraft to be out of service for a while but there is no evidence of that. The many phone calls from passengers to loved ones, speaking of the hi-jacking, must have been faked in some fabulous way. The cockpit voice recorder showing the increasing desperation of the hi-jackers must have been faked. The flight data recorder which shows the final desperate manoeuvres and the fatal dive which tie in with the cvr must have been faked.
You keep saying the aircraft was headed east but it wasn't. It was headed south east until the final desperate minutes. Anyone can take a look at the flightpath and see for themselves so I am not going to debate that any further with you.
Your timing is nonsense because you wont take into account that UA 93 took off 42 minutes late so they should have initiated the hi-jack 3 or 4 minutes into the flight.
You also continue to ignore that they dialled up the VOR for Reagan National Airport and that OBL's driver has said the target was "the Dome".
Hasn't it been proven that cell phones were not able to make calls from the planes? I'm not 100% sure myself, which is why I'm asking.

As I said, I don't know if the plane was phsyically hijacked, or whether it was remote control assisted? I admitted that and how would I possibly know?
How do we know the phone calls from the planes are real?
Perhaps the plane was landed and the passengers killed before the intended strikes?
We can only speculate, but given some the of the hijackers themselves have been proven to be alive since 9/11, then do not take this as you being right!
