: Another pilot warned that "we had better consider whether
: electro-magnetic pulse or radio frequency weapons were used
: from a command and control platform hovering over the
: Eastern Seaboard... I'm talkin' AWACS."
: Another comment: "If there was an AWACS on station over
: the targeted area, did it have a Global Hawk capability? I
: mean, could it convert the commercial jets to robotic
: flying missiles?
: A hotly debated question: Who would be in command of such an
: Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS)? Were they
: Chinese -- Russians -- Saudis -- Israelis -- NATO ? All of
: these countries possess AWACS-type aircraft. All (except
: the Saudis) have the capability to utilize electro-magnetic
: pulsing (EMP) to knock out on-board flight controls and
: communications of targeted aircraft, and then, to fly them
: by remote control.
: One of the Air Force officers explained that we had already
: flown a robot plane the size of a Boeing 737 across the
: Pacific to Australia -- unmanned -- from Edwards AF13 in
: California to a successful landing on an Aussie base in
: South Australia. It flies along a pre-programmed flight
: path, but is "monitored" (controlled remotely) by
: a pilot from an outside station.
: He explained that the London Economist (20 Sep 2001) published
: comments from the former CEO of British Airways, Robert
: Ayling, who stated that an aircraft could be commandeered
: from the ground or air and controlled remotely in the event
: of a hijack.
: COMMERCIAL JETS AS GUIDED MISSILES
: An AP story, dateline Brussels - 7 Oct 01 -- "At
: Washington's request, NATO will soon deploy surveillance
: aircraft for anti-terrorist operations in the United States
: in response to the attacks on New York and Washington, NATO
: officials said Sunday, an unprecedented use of foreign
: military forces to defend the U.S. homeland."
: The assembled group of pilots debated why we would ask for
: foreign forces to fly AWACS over our sovereign territory
: when we have a fleet of 33 of them, of which 28 are
: stationed in Oklahoma. The debate also centered on whether
: such NATO surveillance aircraft were already here prior to
: 11 September.
: Could one of them have commandeered the four airliners?
: There seems to be wide discrepancies between what the Federal
: government is proclaiming -- and their media moguls
: reporting -- as opposed to the calm and reasoned and
: rational views of those men who fly the planes and defend
: the nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
: This writer has been a general aviation pilot since 1946. 1
: have flown a variety of single engine prop aircraft since,
: and installed an FAA-approved airstrip here on my farm in
: 1980. Two local pilots periodically joined me for short
: hops; one, a Madison County lawyer, a graduate of the Air
: Force Academy, who flew for the Air Force before coming
: home to practice law.
: The other, Kent Hill, who lives with his wife, Carol, on a
: farm close to mine, is an American Airlines captain
: assigned to the European route. He was a lifelong friend of
: "Chic" Burlingame, They were graduates of the
: Naval Academy and flew F-4 Phantoms in Vietnam. Both left
: the Navy 28 years ago and joined American Airlines. Both
: planned to retire in 2002. Chic was the captain of AA
: flight 77, a Boeing 757, which departed Washington Dulles
: for Los Angeles at 8: 10 am on I I September, with 58
: passengers and a crew of 6. Flight 77 crashed into the
: Pentagon at 9:41 am.
: "We were totally trained on the old type of hijack,"
: Capt Hill said, "where you treat the hijacker
: cordially, punch a 4-digit code into your transponder to
: alert ground control you're being hijacked, and then get
: him where he wants to go, set the plane safely on the
: ground and let them deal with it on the ground. However,
: this is a totally new situation... Not one of the planes
: alerted ground control that they were being hijacked."
: How come?
: "The fact is, all the transponders were turned off on the
: doomed flights virtually at the same time." Look at
: their departure times -- two from Logan (Boston), one from
: Newark, another from Dulles (Washington DC) -- all between
: 8 am and 8:15.
: "Shortly after climb-out to flight level, their
: transponders are de-activated.. (they are no longer a blip
: on the radar screens). This is something that really needs
: to be looked into. The only reason we turn them off is so
: they don't interfere with ground systems when we
: land."
: (Note: Transponders identify a particular aircraft in flight
: on the radar screens of FAA flight controllers located
: throughout the country. Various codes are punched into the
: transponder, one displaying, "I am being
: hijacked.")
: Although there is much talk among the various flight crews,
: Hill says they are not privy to any of the investigations
: into the events of I I September. "We're in the dark
: -- very much so ... They're playing it pretty tight to the
: vest."
: He is convinced none of the pilots had control of their
: aircraft when they were flown into the World Trade Center
: and the Pentagon. The question then becomes, who was really
: in control?
: "Even if I had a gun at my head, I'd never fly a plane
: into a building. I'd try to put it in anywhere -- a field
: or a river --and I'd be scaring the hell out of them (the
: hijackers) by flying upside down first," Hill said.
: In fact, the pilot has the best weapon in his hand when
: threatened with imminent death by a hijacker, namely, the
: airplane.
: Another airline pilot stated. "On hearing a major scuffle
: in the cabin, the pilot should have inverted the aircraft
: and the hijackers end up with broken necks."
: That none of the four pilots executed such a maneuver points
: toward the fact that none of them had control of their
: aircraft, but had been overridden by an outside force,
: which was flying them by remote control.
: As an old and not so bold pilot, I became more convinced that
: the four commercial jets were choreographed by a
: "conductor" from a central source, namely an
: airborne warning and control system (AWACS). They have the
: electronic capability to engage several aircraft
: simultaneously, knock out their on-board flight controls by
: EMP (electro-magnetic pulsing) and assume command and
: remote control of these targeted aircraft.
: As we consider all the options -- and enemies -- who performed
: this act of war, whether from China, Russia, an
: Islamic country, or from NATO, we must also consider that
: the enemy may be within the gates.
: If so, then we are dealing with high treason.
