With regards to a mystery plane over the Pentagon, the only planes over the area at the time of impact were a C-130 that had launched out of Andrews on a routine flight home, and the E-4B that scrambled out of Andrews when it became clear what was happening. It had a full crew plus battle staff IIRC at the time of launch.
We've debunked the statement that it was a missile that hit the pentagon.
We've debunked the statement about Enron documents.
We've debunked the statement about remote control instead of pilots flying the planes.
We've debunked the statement that the people are alive and having plastic surgery.
We've debunked the statement that the planes landed safely in Canada.
We've debunked the statement that there was no plane wreckage in the Pentagon debris.
We've debunked the statement that the Air Force shot down the Shanksville flight.

There were several that were airborne that were recalled. They had been heading to a bomb range and weren't armed for air to air.

The OP link does't mention anything about any evidence that I could see. Granted I only skimmed over it...
But I have some questions I was hoping someone, anyone, could help me understand:
Can someone explain why anyone should think the planes were remotely guided and not flown by pilots with passengers in them?
Can someone provide the proof, other than red highlighted words on an obscure website, that the original planes landed safely in Canada?
If those flights existed then all of those passengers and crew are still alive... where are they now and what was in it for them and their families. Has to be some 100's of folks that were part of that scheme.
Why shoot down flight 93 if it wasn't ever being flown by terrorists? Was that planes remotely guided too? If not did we sacrifice that plane and its passengers- for what purpose did that serve in this entire operation?
Why use missiles for one target, remotely guided planes for others, and a real one w passengers for another?

I think 9/11 was simply an insurance job those towers was aging and becoming very expensive to maintain,and to have them demolished by contractors would have cost tens of millions,the planes hit the secure computer floors on both towers,where not many people should have been,and the north tower should have been completely empty,there was a 25 minute gap for everyone to get out,the blood of the people who died in the north tower is on the emergency services and staff that told them to go back to work.but why the pentagon was hit i do not know.

We wanted to go to war and we needed a reason plain and simple. I can't say for sure if the planes were empty or not but anyone in this govt who expects me to believe some buffoon with a box cutter took over a few planes and then had the flight training to fly not 1 but 2 planes into buildings is crazy.

Not sure about that one YMMV

Are you saying it isn't possible? The govt makes people disappear all the time.

DRAMA....the hero story........not everyone was in on this......as a matter of fact very few knew this was an inside job. No matter what was happening on that plane it was taken out.
IMO the original 2 planes that hit the towers were the start of the plan. The Pentagon hit was to add incentive to get an easily approved war and the plane being shot down was added drama to further that agenda. I believe the pilots genuinely thought we were under attack they just didn't know it was by our own govt.

I meant that Langley had used F-15's mentioned in response to 9/11. Like I said provide links to back up your statement. My link states SPECIFICALLY that 2 F-15's from Otis and 3 F-16's from Langley were scrambled.
A fighter pilot rushed into the skies on 9-11 was prepared to make a kamikaze run at one of the hijacked planes - even though there was a chance her father had been its pilot before terrorists seized command.
Lt. Heather (Lucky) Penney was ordered to bring down United Airlines Flight 93, which security officials feared was hurtling straight toward Washington D.C., The Washington Post reported.
But in the panic that followed the strikes on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, crews at Andrews Air Force Base didn't have enough time to equip her F-16 with missiles.
"We wouldn't be shooting it down," Penney told The Post. "We'd be ramming the aircraft."
"I would essentially be a kamikaze pilot," she added, reflecting back on what would have been a suicide mission."

Oh, sorry, I was stuck on the fighter issue, not the E-4. The E-4 was sitting on alert at Andrews. When they're sitting alert, they keep the right side engines running the entire time, so all they have to do is to board through the left side door, close it, start the left side engines and taxi. Without having been involved, I would say that the most likely scenario is that when it became clear that more than one aircraft had been hijacked, they scrambled the crew, boarded the battle staff, and launched.
The Alert 5 (5 minute launch) is for the fighters that are sitting alert, not the E-4. The E-4 usually has a longer response time, although not much. The fighters on alert are sitting in hangars on the end of the runway, so they simply start engines, pull out, and they're on the end of the runway ready to take off.
