I refer you to the PDF supplement. It clearly shows the plane at an angle of approach that puts it 100ft above the Pentagon.

There are no witnesses to support this, therefore the PDF is in contradiction to the witnesses.

Please explain this.

You have no idea what the eyewitnesses support because you haven't talked to any of them let alone all of them.

Absence of evidence is not evidence.

Furthermore it is unreasonable to expect eyewitnesses to be mathematically accurate about specific details anyway.

But the presentation has nothing to do with theory nor is it claiming to have proven an exact flight path at the Pentagon.

It merely proves with math and physics that a gang of pseudo-skeptics lied about any north side approach being impossible for any aircraft at any speed.

It proves with many different hypothetical examples that it is quite possible.

If you wish to debunk this you are forced to prove the math presented incorrect or demonstrate how all possible north side approach flight paths are impossible for any aircraft at any speed.

If not I suggest you concede that P4T was correct and that your vitriolic off-topic rhetoric has been out of line.

You are off topic and that is not how I was using the phrase.

The premise of this thread has nothing whatsoever to do with whether or not a flyover occurred.

It has to do with a presentation proving with math and physics that a band of pseudo-skeptics lied by furiously pushing the false notion that it is impossible for any fixed-wing aircraft to fly over the Navy Annex and bank north of the citgo at any speed.

Now if you suggest P4T is wrong about this I recommend you point out the errors in their math and prove how it is impossible after all.

Otherwise to demonstrate intellectual honesty you should concede the presentation is accurate and that a north side approach is entirely possible.

You continue to attempt to dodge the issue. The only access to the witnesses we have are P4T/CIT released videos. Specifically, Turcios says that he absolutely did not see an aircraft fly over the Pentagon in direct contradiction to the PDF.

The P4T PDF supplement shows the plane not impacting the Pentagon and flying above it at nearly 100ft.

There are no P4T/CIT witness statements that have been released that support this visualization and in fact one witness contradicts the PDF findings completely.

Ergo, either the PDF supplement is in error or the witnesses are in error.

Which is it?

Who claimed that it would be impossible to fly over the navy annex and go north of the citgo at any speed?

What are the G-loads required for the pull-up maneuver which would have been required to fly over the Pentagon?

Your inability to even understand the stated purpose of the presentation and tech supplement does not make it in error.

Let me try this again and perhaps one of these times it will sink in.

The presentation has nothing to do with a flyover or any theory nor is it claiming to have proven an exact flight path at the Pentagon or is it stated that it was meant to exactly replicate every single word from any or all witnesses.

The purpose of the presentation is to answer to critics who erroneously and furiously tried spreading a propaganda campaign to push the false claim that it is not physically possible for any fixed-wing aircraft to come from south of Columbia Pike, cross directly over the Navy Annex, and bank north of the citgo towards the Pentagon at any speed.

If you wish to debunk this you are forced to prove the math presented incorrect or demonstrate how all possible north side approach flight paths are impossible for any aircraft at any speed.

If not and you wish to regain a shred of intellectual credibility I suggest you concede that P4T was correct.

All of that information is provided in the presentation and tech supplement.

If you haven't viewed the data I am not inclined to discuss it with you.

If you have you wouldn't need to ask me these questions.

Now if you can provide proof that the calculations are in error please feel free to do so otherwise I suggest you concede that the information provided is accurate.

You want me to concede that P4T created an aerodynamically possible flight path that is in contradiction to witness testimony?

Sure. They absolutely did.

Done? Please provide a source showing the errors in the tech paper.

Please don't direct me to your buddies at JokeREF who are still avoiding
my request to provide their North data points.

There is nothing wrong with the math. It has been endorsed and checked
by professors and pilots.

Don't think for a second a bunch of kids (like you) behind a monitor are going to
spin the facts.

Provide the math to show the errors, or just go....home.

You just revealed the flaw in your reasoning and your desire to use a logical fallacy (circular logic and straw man argument) to avoid the entire point of the presentation.

Liars said that ANY north side approach flight path is impossible.

P4T proved them wrong.

That is the only point in this presentation.

It has nothing to do with the flyover.

Honest reasonable people understand how a plane on the north side of the citgo at all does in fact scientifically prove a flyover due to the official reports, data, and physical damage requiring a south side approach. No flyover witness required.

You abandoned your silly argument suggesting otherwise so if you wish to resurrect it I suggest you do it in another thread because that would be entirely off topic from this one and you risk having your posts removed for breaking the forum rules.

Honestly, I've no idea why anyone would say that a north side approach is aerodynamically impossible. Sure, my earlier statements were based on the assumption that the flight path portrayed in the PDF and video was based on witness testimony, otherwise I could not fathom why you would release it since it does little to prove your argument... beyond attempting to annoy the folks at randi.org.

What would seem to be impossible, however, is a north side approach that both matches P4T/CIT eye witness testimony and is aerodynamically feasible.

Would proof of that not be the final nail in the coffin for nay-sayers? Why not provide that instead of this fairy tale?

Providing a flight path without corroboration from witnesses is a colossal waste of time.

We did, and I was part of that calculation and path structure directly.

Watch the video again, it shows several possible paths, speeds, angles
that are witness compatible.

If you don't agree, point out the errors AND/OR provide us with the
data points so we can once again prove it's aero-possible.

If you feel that Terry was not inside the wings watching the belly of the
plane, knock on his damn door and record a statement as such.

Terry already gave his statement:

"I then realized that I was wearing sunglasses and needed to go back to Lot 3 to retrieve my clear lenses. Since it was by no means a short walk to my car, I was upset with myself for being so distracted. Approximately 10 steps out from between Wings 4 and 5, I was making a gentle right turn towards the security check-in building just above Wing 4 when I became aware of something unusual. I can’t remember exactly what I was thinking about at that moment, but I started to hear an increasingly loud rumbling behind me and to my left. As I turned to my left, I immediately realized the noise was bouncing off the 4-story structure that was Wing 5. One to two seconds later the airliner came into my field of view. By that time the noise was absolutely deafening. I instantly had a very bad feeling about this but things were happening very quickly. The aircraft was essentially right over the top of me and the outer portion of the FOB (flight path parallel the outer edge of the FOB). Everything was shaking and vibrating, including the ground. I estimate that the aircraft was no more than 100 feet above me (30 to 50 feet above the FOB) in a slight nose down attitude. The plane had a silver body with red and blue stripes down the fuselage. I believed at the time that it belonged to American Airlines, but I couldn’t be sure. It looked like a 737 and I so reported to authorities. Within seconds the plane cleared the 8th Wing of BMDO and was heading directly towards the Pentagon. Engines were at a steady high-pitched whine, indicating to me that the throttles were steady and full. I estimated the aircraft speed at between 350 and 400 knots. The flight path appeared to be deliberate, smooth, and controlled.

It's a measure of CIT's desperation that you guys have to continue to pretend otherwise.

May I offer a honest, hopefully helpful suggestion? At this point in the thread it's very obvious (at least to me) that CIT/PFT are not trying to be intellectually honest and engage you openly.

Don't waste your time. As we have seen for years now, these guys hang themselves - repeatedly.

Really? You worked on this? You aggregated witness testimony to make those flight paths? We'll skip the fact that you didn't show your work.

All I want is someone involved to address this one, simple issue.

Why is the plane shown nearly 100ft above the Pentagon in the PDF supplement in direct contradiction to the testimony of Robert Turcios?
