- Dear Mr. Rense:
-
- Your website is invaluable to me in many respects
- thank you for the work your organization does. I concur with Sender,
Berle and Sons - your site is sufficient to put together a full picture.
-
- However, I must question the legitimacy of the article
posted on 31Dec04, "Was the Pentagon Aircraft a Boeing 737?".
-
- I compared these two pictures submitted as matches, using
an eye experienced at finding substitute machine parts under adverse conditions.
I have to conclude the opposite that the article author did - the picture
given to compare with the wreckage photo bears no relationship to it in
form or function. Indeed, the spar or strut or support shown as the Pentagon
plane picture has mechanical characteristics much closer to a lighter-duty
support - a single support boss, a slimmer length/width ratio, a stubbier
spindle or bearing extension. This is much more characteristic of wheel
supports, absorbers, or braces I have seen for fighter aircraft. I think
he did a good job of proving it was NOT a 737.
-
- Thank you for your consideration of this.
