One of the most curious facts of 9/11 is how the same C-130 Air National Guard plane, Golfer 6, was able to visually identify 2 of the 4 planes within seconds of the crashes, even though the crash sites were over 100 miles apart.

In order for the C-130 to identify the Flight 93 just minutes after the crash it had to have a pre-determined flight plan that took it almost directly over Shanksville. What are the odds of that?

My question is why would the C-130 be traveling on this flight path to begin with? Below is a link to a map I made in Google maps showing the flight path of the C-130 from Washington, D.C. towards Shanksville. However, the C-130's ultimate destination was Minneapolis. The red line shows the direct path the C-130 would have taken to get to Minneapolis. The blue line shows the actual direction the C-130 was traveling on 9/11.

Is it normal for a plane to have a flight plan that does not take it towards it's ultimate destination? I.e., why would the C-130 be flying over Shanksville when this path would not take it to Minneapolis?

The C-130 plane is an Air National Guard plane that took off from Andrews AFB just before Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon. The controllers radioed the crew of this plane and asked them to identify Flight 77. The crew saw Flight 77 crash into the Pentagon, then the plane continued on to it's pre-determined destination of Minneapolis.

20 minutes later, air traffic controllers asked the same crew to look for Flight 93, which had crashed moments earlier in Shanksville. Remarkably, this same C-130 was almost directly over the crash site in PA where Flight 93 crashed, at almost the exact time Flight 93 crashed.

So this same C-130 crew, in the air, saw 2 of the 4 planes that crashed on 9/11 even though the crashes were 20 minutes apart and over 100 miles apart.

According to the official story, they had dropped stuff off in the Carribean, and were returning to their home base in Minneapolis. They took off from Andrews about 9:30, almost at the same time the controllers spotted Flight 77 screaming in from the west.

The controllers then asked the C-130 if they could ID 77. The pilot said that 77 was filling up his wind screen. Then the pilot said that 77 seemed to have crashed into the Pentagon. At this point ATC told the pilot to continue on with his trip to Minnesota.

There have also been conflicting reports about what the pilot said. The story I just read today talked about another crew member looking down and to the right watching 77 coming in for what he thought was a landing. There were also reports that ATC asked the C-130 to follow 77.

BTW, there's apparently a version of the C-130 with electronic jamming equipment that theoretically could have taken a plane out of the air without firing a shot. This might have been a more palatable, politcally correct option re Flight 93 as opposed to a shoot down.

Or maybe it's just a real coincidence that the C-130 happened to be in the exact location, at almost the precise time when 2 of the 4 planes crashed on 9/11. IMHO, it's a little hard to swallow that no fighters were within a hundred miles of 93 or 77 but a C-130, based on pure luck, happened to be on top of both these planes.

According to the official report, the C-130 was not "directed" to change course to look for 93. Apparently the C-130 was asked if they could see 93, and they saw the smoke coming up from the ground.

The issue is the coincidence that the C-130 happened to be in the exact spot of both crashes when the crashes happened (give or take a couple of minutes for Flight 93). The probabililty of this is astronomical, imo. Not only did the C-130 have to be in the same physical location, but it had to be there at the exact time.

This reminds me of the O.J. Simpson case in which he claimed to accidentally cut his finger not once, but twice on the night of the murders.

Not only did the C-130 take off from Andrews AFB, but it seems to have flown directly over Reagan International airspace to get a view of Flight 77 hitting the Pentagon.
