Really, you saved me some work. I thought I'd get someone to do that, you came thru bolo, thanks.

Now, lte's look at what you posted....
At 9:33 plus the 4.5 minutes that the controller kept trying to make contact, the time would be around 9:40 EDT

At 10:52 EDT is first contact air to air. That's a dif of 1:12

Using your rounding of 1:12 minutes to 1:30, it only seems fair to say that I could round down by the similar ratio. I come up with around 20 minutes mol. That places the time around :52 minutes response time.

Now, given that the transponder had not been turned off, and there being no known voice recordings of any hi-jacking -as there was on 9/11 - I would say the lackadasial attitude of the Jacksonville controller is allowable. Also, the report never does state just when NORAD was contacted.

The air to air contact on 9/11 did round out to over 1:30 minutes, as you suggest. That would make it about :38 minutes longer than the Stewart event.

Excuse, please, my ignorance as concerns the remains found at the pentagon, but I've yet to see an official report of those remains. Maybe you would be so kind as to link me to such a report? Many thanks.
