As is the the Pentagon and numerous other buildings in the same restricted airspace. So if the plane did not do the 360 maneuver it hit the Pentagon as planned on descent prior to getting to the White House, Capitol or other potential target. If the plane then indeed did this 360 as is claimed it had to be at a high altitude as no one sited the plane until seconds before it hit the Pentagon. A huge airliner flying at 300+ mph (500 is out of reason) around the the city and Reagan National Airport (which it had to circle to do the 360 maneuver) would have made a lot of noise and been sited unless it was very high (10,000 feet). And if it was very high then it had only one target, the one it dived into at the end, everything else especially the ATC (needed for TV exposure) conclusion is wild ass speculation!
