Air Force Stand-down

The attack at the Pentagon took place in one of the most heavily guarded air spaces in the world.

The notion that Flight 77 could fly into Washington and carry out the Pentagon Attack unopposed, almost an hour after the first plane struck the World Trade Center, at a time when the FAA and NORAD know that more than 2 planes have been hijacked, is absurd. Of all the flights of 9/11, Flight 77 was the easiest to detect, the easiest to intercept, and given its supposed target, the most obvious to be intercepted.

Andrews Air Force base, ten miles from the Pentagon is home to two 'combat-ready' squadrons:

• the 121st Fighter Squadron (FS-121) of the 113th Fighter Wing (FW-113), equipped with F-16 fighters;

• the 321st Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA-321) of the 49th Marine Air Group, Detachment A (MAG-49 Det-A), equipped F/A-18 fighters. CBS ( Cached)

• F-15s can travel at speeds of 1875 mph while F-16s can travel at 1500 mph. FAS

There is evidence of a cover up.

• The mission statement for the DC Air National Guard (DCANG) at Andrews used to read: 202

• "DCANG MISSION: To provide combat units in the highest possible state of readiness."

• On September 13th 2001 this Mission Statement was pulled, and a blander non-sequitur that mentions neither combat nor readiness. The base becomes, according to the website, home to a transport squadron only.

There is evidence that fighters accompanied at least one of the 9/11 flights:

 

"Allah blinds the heathens' radar" scenario:

• There are 4 active military radar sites within range of Washington.

•   There is evidence that at least some parts of the Air Force was told to stand down.

• No hijacker in history has turned off a transponder: 

• The transponder broadacasts the plane's altitude and location.

• The transponder is used by pilots to signal a hijacking.

• Without the transponder, the aircraft does not show up on some smaller civilian radar, but still shows up on active military radar.
