420 mph is not exactly big time slow but it wouldn't chase down a charging 757.

The A-10 doesn't make sense as a pursuit jet but what about as a remote stationed intercept? Short take off, fairly benign looks (witness wise -- compared to other military jets). Pull some big moves on the passenger jet, scare the speed off it, etc...

So the ExecJet (purportedly the Falcon 20) volunteered to assist or was it asked? Assuming the FBI BS story can't be true (if you believe the 911 report :)) because the report says a C-130 was on the scene less than 2 minutes later, in a period when the FAA and Command Center were still speculating about the possibility of a crash. I assume that must mean it can only have volunteered, knowing of the hijacking and as a witness to the wing waving (in that 3 minute window between 9:57 and 10:00 - 911 report), somewhere around 20 miles northwest of Johnstown (911 report), while on it's way to the land at the nearest strip due the nationwide stop issued 27 minutes before. Sheesh! A navigator with flight maps would be needed to verify the feasibility of the sighting... or maybe an ATC, but you're on the debunker side I believe. :P

I suppose it doesn't matter if none of this makes sense to me. The 911 report doesn't make sense. It's all BS. The C-130 shot the shit out everything. Out.
