So you agree that he saw the plane, something you denied earlier?
"It had that distinctive silver finish. In our minds, it was definitely an American Airlines aircraft. And as he moved to our 11 o'clock position, he started his turn, and by the time he was at our 12 o'clock position right out in front of the aircraft, he was rolled up in about I would estimate about 30 to 40 degrees of bank..." - C-130 Pilot Steve O'Brien
"and then all of the sudden we saw this big explosion, and I keyed the mike again and said 'Washington, this is Gopher 0-6, that plane has hit the west side of the pentagon" - C-130 Pilot Steve O'Brien
- BBC Interview - available online
That's the other part of the puzzle you guys are missing.
Have any of you obviously incredibly intelligent people bothered to map out his interaction with the plane i.e. where he was at when he first saw it, where the plane was at when he first saw it, what it did, where it went?
That's very key to this story.
The purpose of these second plane accounts are to have a "second" plane/jet veering away from/being in the sky/above the building at the time of "impact" or the explosion/fireball. That is why the wording is key and the amibiguity is even more important. It's basically about acknowledging a plane flying away being over the Pentagon at the time of the explosion, bringing it closer to the plane when hits.
The fact is the C-130 got passed when the craft crossed in front of him, descending to his altitude and even lower as it went by the right side of the C-130 as it went westbound. We found out he had 3 radio calls before he even turned around. When he did turn around in an *attempt* to follow it he had hard time keeping in sight (it was coming out of that spiral), when he did see the explosion he was so far away and high up, that he did not know where or what it had impacted. He arrived over the scene about 60 seconds after the explosion. No one saw him following or chasing the plane, because it did not happen. None of our witnesses saw the C-130. Robert Turcios said he stood out on the mound for about 10 minutes until they cleared everyone away. He didn't even see the C-130. It didn't make a big grand entrance. It came in at a high altitude, flew over the Pentagon and flew by/through the MINUTE OLD smoke plume and flew over the Potomac, climbing rapidly over the Tidal Basin. The C-130 crew are innocent pawns, they were not part of the operation.
I can tell you that spiral turn ain't where it should be and if you guys had done your homework you would know that too.
