Hi Navy (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Of course, this doesn't mean they are opposition. They may be trying to educate themselves... Well, So they've got some upbeat music to listen to, I'll drop a quarter in the jukebox for our Navy guest.

Hi again. I was interested in where Aa77 was actually positioned in that animation so I had a look on Google Earth. I should have looked earlier! For the first time I realised where Reagan was.
Excuse me if I'm a bit slow...In this animation, Aa77 appears to be on final approach (albeit somewhat low) to the diagonal runway at Reagan while everyone is focussed on the Pentagon wondering WTF went bang. You guys seem very thorough so I assume that all traffic into Reagan around that time is accounted for? I has a quick look in the Aa77 forum and couldn't find anything. Always wondered why our fearless pilot did the big circle around the Pentagon rather than flying straight in.(??) Directions please. This post has been edited by kiwisteve: Sep 16 2008, 05:53 AM |

...Always wondered why our fearless pilot did the big circle around the Pentagon rather than flying straight in.(??) In order to hit the "catcher's mit" - or, the newly renovated section of the Pentagon where there wouldn't be any Pentagon brass ... you couldn't have the terrorists hitting the side of the building that Rummy was in, now could you? (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) In all seriousness, Dick Eastman postulated a fly-over and landing at Reagan International many years ago. I have no idea if there is any real evidence out there (log of an aircraft landing there at that time), but I would think that if such a landing @ Reagan was indeed the case, that it would be carefully covered up.

on a whim tonight, i did some digging over at STK.com and found some "interesting stuff":
Proceedings of the 2002 Winter Simulation Conference E. Yücesan, C.-H. Chen, J. L. Snowdon, and J. M. Charnes, eds. http://www.informs-cs.org/wsc02papers/001.pdf KEYNOTE ADDRESS ADDRESSING THE CHALLENGES OF AEROSPACE AND DEFENSE INITIATIVES USING SOFTWARE ANALYSIS TOOLS Paul L. Graziani Analytical Graphics, Inc. 40, General Warren Boulevard Malvern, PA 19355, U.S.A. General public awareness – Two- and threedimensional analysis tools helped investigators understand details of the September 11 terrorist attack and assess possible future countermeasures. Actual FAA radar data was used to accurately recreate the events and model the flight paths of hijacked airlines as well as the responding military aircraft. This software provided a graphical timeline of all aircraft movements to the highest levels of NORAD and US Space Command, and was used as an interactive tool for forensic examination of the associated events. AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY PAUL L. GRAZIANI is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Analytical Graphics, Inc. (AGI). He is one of three founders of AGI; the producer of commercially available analysis and visualization software used by more than 27,000 aerospace, defense, and intelligence professionals worldwide. Graziani started his career at General Electric Space Division in 1980, where he held a number of software and engineering roles. From 1986 to 1988, he led a significant research and development project on 3-D graphics for a large classified satellite system. In January 1989, Graziani left GE to start AGI in his living room. He and two other founders created Satellite Tool Kit (STK), the company’s flagship product. Using computer graphics to translate raw data into manageable information, STK offers a revolutionary approach to space systems analysis. Graziani served as President of AGI from 1989 to 1991, and then assumed the role of Chief Technology Officer. He has served as President and CEO from 1994 to the present. powerpoint presentation about the WTC's and Pentagon: (IMG:http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/hatenames/STKsanimationpppresentation.jpg) (2002) http://www.agi.com/downloads/events/usersC..._NORAD_9-11.ppt using the STK site's search for "FAA", the above link/ppt presentation, was also found here with the date 2004-07-07: (IMG:http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/hatenames/STKsanimationpppresentation2.jpg) just in case anyone needs it - a POWERPOINT VIEWER (free): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en *** pretty interesting huh? they have a forum, if anyone wants to ask some questions, though of course, there is no guarantee that they will or are able to respond, but perhaps worth a try none the less? http://www.stk.com/agiforum/ https://www.stk.com/MyAccount/index.cfm (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/salute.gif) This post has been edited by paranoia: Sep 25 2008, 04:56 AM |

Absolutely. We need to find more about the animation. But I guess we're all waiting for someone else to make the first step... |

But I guess we're all waiting for someone else to make the first step... Actually riv, Some of us already took a few early steps on this FAA release a while back. The problem is- there would appear to be some "information gatekeeping" in play (see posts 59-62 above). Personally, I'd like to see the complete FOIA .ISO files available for download- that takes much less time to "prepare" than this "throttled" "needle in a download stack" information release method. I did notice this interesting new "release" just now though: This file provided to Brian Stark via FOIA 2008-3195. It is an Excel sheet recording the DCA departures/arrivals for 9/11/2001 http://aal77.com/faa/FOIA%202008-3195%20(Stark).xls If anyone would like to help, I noticed there are some new .MP3 files at the "information gate" errr.. source. I mentioned dividing up the listening work back at post #10 above: http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum//index....&p=10751917 |

riv - after some further research, it seems the stk forum is not exactly the right source for further info. that forum is mostly intended for software users, so its more of a user-end/technical-problems forum. but i did find who might be able to offer some insight on the matter at hand:
10/17/2002: http://www.agi.com/downloads/corporate/new...ew_10172002.pdf (IMG:http://img26.picoodle.com/img/img26/3/9/28/f_STKCherieGOm_9c2b0bc.jpg) i believe this is who put the animations together: (IMG:http://img34.picoodle.com/img/img34/3/9/28/f_STKCherieGOm_f5ead62.jpg) contact info for her: http://www.mors.org/publications/abstracts/73rd_abs.pdf 719 554 3945 Cherie.Gott - at - northcom.mil 250 S. Peterson Blvd, Suite 420 Peterson AFB, CO 80914 *** p.s.- there is alot more animation, whats been released is only an excerpt: (IMG:http://img26.picoodle.com/img/img26/3/9/28/f_capture2609m_cdaffa0.jpg) since i doubt mr.farmer is ever going to release the data that goes with the animation, perhaps someone (on our side) can file their own FOIA requesting all the necessary data, or at least the entire animation. **** ETA - 7.23.10 - some key pics are gone, and the links are now defunct... but most of the info can still be found via an internal search at AGI's site: http://www.agi.com/search/gSearch.aspx?q=g...strict=AGISites This post has been edited by paranoia: Jul 23 2010, 12:57 AM |

Seems like a person I know filed a FOIA request to NORAD.
I'll keep you updated. |

In order to hit the "catcher's mit" - or, the newly renovated section of the Pentagon where there wouldn't be any Pentagon brass ... you couldn't have the terrorists hitting the side of the building that Rummy was in, now could you?

I have no idea if there is any real evidence out there (log of an aircraft landing there at that time), but I would think that if such a landing @ Reagan was indeed the case, that it would be carefully covered up. Sanders, We might want to look at that .XLS spreadsheet that I recently linked above. I'm wondering which "civilian aircraft" that "AA77" might have been ["spoofed" as]/called? EDIT: http://aal77.com/faa/FOIA%202008-3195%20(Stark).xls EDIT2: There are several "B" types arriving at DCA after ~09:40 EDT. Hmmmm.... This is the most "interesting" that I found so far: "Aircraft ID Unique FAA Index Date Departure Airport Departure Date (GMT) Departure Time (GMT) Departure Date (EDT) Departure Time (EDT) Arrival Airport Arrival Date (GMT) Arrival Time (GMT) Arrival Date (EDT) Arrival Time (EDT) User Class Aircraft Type UAL93 196566 11-Sep-01 EWR 20010911 12:43 20010911 8:43 DCA 20010911 14:28 20010911 10:28 [EDT] Commercial B752" EDIT3: Here is your screen capture (from my sorted version) of the above jumbled spreadsheet paste. That rather non-descript "AAL568" "Other" DCA arrival at 10:13 EDT would be my wager for "AA77" BTW... (IMG:http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/5086/ua93dcarn8.th.jpg) (IMG:http://img72.imageshack.us/images/thpix.gif) This one might be HUGE gang...

Hi "Skeptic"on.
Here's a bit about DCA's location, from post #7: http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum//index....&p=10693640 "For the DCA beacon, my Google Earth version 4.2.0205.5730 gave a location of N38.8594556 W77.0364500 (or N38deg 51' 34.04" W77deg 02' 11.22"). I think these were very close to UnderTow's numbers in the DCA DME thread, and I got the same results when setting Google Earth for deg/min/sec or fractional degrees when I verified the arcmin (1/60th degree) & arcsecond (1/3600th degree) conversions."

dMole, I just saw your post about the DCA landings.
Far out! (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/whistle.gif) I notice also that there was a 757-200 (am I reading that right?) that landed at 9:43 ... not American Airlines, but the time is about right. |

I'm glad this record of DCA arrivals after 9:30 AM 9-11-01 turned up. And not surprised:
http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum//index....&p=10748231 QUOTE There's a couple of loose ends that intrigue me. They may have been discussed before.
. . . . . . 2. The National Ground Stop was effective at about 9:30 AM. 20 minutes later, it seems possible that other planes might still be landing at DCA to comply with it and I don't recall whether any record of such landings has ever been discussed. Could this provide further cover for shenanigans or perhaps cause further confusion of planes? |

Seven minutes before the explosions at the Pentagon would seem too early to have sighted the decoy aircraft circling around Reagan, considering that orders to evacuate would be generated prior to 9:30. Perhaps they were preparing the airport for the landing of your B757-200. (a decoy aircraft which needed to be quickly hidden in a hanger?) QUOTE (Woody Box) Reagan was not closed all day on 9/11, but the airport was hastily evacuated shortly before the Pentagon "crash". Lindsey Kriete, 24, of Wellesley was scheduled to leave Reagan National on a 10 a.m. flight to Boston. About 9:30 a.m., all hell broke loose, Kriete said, as airport personnel began running through the terminal, telling passengers to leave quickly. By the time Kriete had rounded up her belongings and tried to calm people who were crying, all the taxis were gone and the subway had shut down. http://www.boston.com/news/packages/undera...ost_town+.shtml The phone rang. It was my sister, on her cell phone from Reagan National Airport in D.C. She was within minutes of boarding a plane to Atlanta when U.S. airspace was shut down—and she was talking very fast: "They're telling us to forget our bags and get out of the terminal!" she said. And then, as she got outside, she began to lose her composure. "I hear something that sounds like explosions . . . I'm afraid!" It later became clear that the sounds she was hearing were actually coming from the Pentagon, which is near Reagan National. http://www.uga.edu/gm/1201/FrontEdit.html From this thread on the old Loose Change forum (IMG:http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/7465/n644awarrival6qu.jpg) On the same thread at the beginning, it had been determined that an Air West A320 aircraft had landed at Reagan at 9:39 with the tail # N644AW. (Flight 77 tail # N644AA) But it was determined through records that Air West did not use that tail # until 2003. But apparently somebody was using that tail # on 9-11-2001. QUOTE N644AW is Assigned Model A320-231 Certificate Issue Date 02/10/2003 http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NN...p;cmndfind.y=16 Also a good write-up on the mystery tail # on the old invision board. QUOTE American Airlines Flight 77: Tail#: N644AA Owner: Wilmington Trust Co. Disappearing transponder signal location: Ohio, 8:56 am Impact time: *9:38 am*, Pentagon America West Flight 0098: Tail#: N644AW Owner: Wilmington Trust Co. Departure: Ohio, 8:40 (Wheels off time) Arrival: *9:39 am* (Wheels on time), Reagan National Airport (directly on the other side of the Pentagon) http://s15.invisionfree.com/Loose_Change_F...?showtopic=4371 QUOTE (BoneZ) Sorry Merc, i was doing some research of my own. I think it's very interesting that both jets have a near-identical tail number. I think it's very interesting that they are owned by the same company. I think it's very interesting that they were BOTH near the pentagon at almost EXACTLY the same time. And here's the kicker: the AA jet's transponder code was lost over Ohio and the AW jet took off from Ohio. That's just too many coincidences that you just can't pass up. http://z15.invisionfree.com/Loose_Change_F...=4371&st=30 (IMG:http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e207/Mercury2/n644aw10ltakeoff.jpg) This post has been edited by SPreston: Oct 1 2008, 09:07 AM |

Here's the "new FAA" DCA comma-separated data file, and it has Lat/Lon listed now. Hmmm...
http://aal77.com/faa/faadata/dcatracon.csv Here's a 36MB "combined" .XLS file for 4 airports (DCA, ADW, IAD, and BWI): http://aal77.com/faa/faadata/faaradar.xls Now a word of caution here- several of the "coded" altitude cells have been "converted" to dates, and the aircraft ID aren't identified clearly in these data files.

Sorting by column "ACP," and IFF
Flight AMT133 (FAA index #127826) was either truncated or abbreviated as "826" in column "ACP", then here are your "826" FAA radar returns: (IMG:http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/2521/acp826hl7.th.jpg) (IMG:http://img228.imageshack.us/images/thpix.gif) You'll note that 2 of the "826" radar returns are after the alleged 09:43 EDT "wheels down" for AMT133 in the "Stark" spreadsheet. The third column looks to me like an FAA radar station identifier (integers ranging from 0 to 31). "ACP" likely could be an aircraft identifier, and its integer values range from 0 to 4095, averaging 2014 with a S.D. of 1266 which says "random" (Randiite "Retreat" ought to like the "average" here (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ). Pre-EDIT: No idea on the ALT "codes" there TF (no FAA experience for me- we likely need a civilian ATC here), but it looks like an "endian" Byte-swap or "flag" kind of thing from the data [EDIT: or "ranges" ] EDIT: Since I haven't posted it before, EDT is GMT (or Zulu Time or UTC) - 4.00 hours: http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbrevi...nes/na/edt.html I added a column, and converted the GMT (Greenwich/London/Zulu) timestamps into an EDT timestamp above. EDIT2: You will notice that the .CSV and .XLS files have no units included with the column headings. I would logically assume from my work with the RADES data that RANGE is in nautical miles (nm), "True Az" is radar azimuthal angle (in degrees), and "Lat"itude and "Lon"gitude are also in decimal degrees. Another word of EXTREME CAUTION- the colum "DEG" appears to range from 0 to 360 (like a circle normally would iff degrees) and averaged 177 (of something) with a Standard Deviation (S.D.) of 111 (of those somethings)- fairly random. Strangely, though it appeared to be linked to the "ACP" column that I did sort by. There were also no decimal entries (like in the "True Az" column). This is very suspicious to me (in the .XLS data)- it might be "cooked data." |
