Has anybody found the exact GPS coordinates of flight UA175?
I am trying to map this to Google Earth for a comprehensive study of the flight path. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! |

Has anybody found the exact GPS coordinates of flight AA11?

You could start with this - http://aal77.com/rades/rades.htm - The 84 RADES software and data.
I did the same thing that you are trying to accomplish, only for alleged flight 77, and using Google maps. My results for that are as follows : (IMG:http://img501.imageshack.us/img501/6772/masterplot2jn9.th.png) More details here - http://s1.zetaboards.com/LooseChangeForums/topic/322707/1/ |

Hi οἱ πολλοί (HoiPolloi),
Most civilian aircraft didn't use GPS navigation back in 2001. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_navigation_system The USAF RADES spreadsheet and .RS3 data files have been shown by a few here (myself included) to contain highly suspect data (based upon both altitude and lat/lon analysis for velocity). This was eventually supported by another researcher- perhaps Googling "AA11 RADES data" will help, but I think that other researcher (not JFK above) concentrated mainly on AA77 IIRC. I don't have all those specifics though. Please feel free to share your results. I have also found that exporting the Google Earth .KMZ coordinate files (and providing hosted links) is a good idea for expedient research on a common basis. EDIT: Here is the RADES spreadsheet data for all 4 flights that I merely zipped from the RADES CD (with no modifications): http://www.orbitfiles.com/download/id2392699235.html |

I was just wondering if it was possible to make a video like this one:
http://video.google.it/videoplay?docid=228...69&hl=itsry ...only for flights UA175 and AA11 That may not be possible, though, if the best info is a time to altitude estimation? |
