The JSF (F-35) generates 25000 lb thrust without the A/B.Just when I thought it couldn't get any sillier....
Here is an image of a 767 with a couple a guys standing next to it...for scale.

Here is an image of the missle you are referring to..also with a couple of guys standing next to it, for scaling purposes.

and lastly....an image of your "flying pig" right before impact.

Since we know the width of the WTC....is easy to extrapolate the size of the object in the image...and sure enough...it's the size of a 767. So your "model" was full sized.
Now I'm wondering...how does a single engine with 600 pounds of thrust push a model that size at 500+ mph? (A single 767 engine has 50k-63K pounds of thrust.)
Wouldn't be a lot easier to just to put explosives in a real 767? It could hold a whole lot more than the 2500 pound warhead of the missile.
Pure silliness.
Running on the ground, it will make even Tim Allen yell for "less power"!
With earplugs and muffs, you cannot stand to be within 1000 feet of it, and you can hear it for a long way...
