This conversation is certainly delayed a bit from when the lat-lon was calculated, thus the timeline doesn't necessarily seem like an anomaly. And 2.5 miles is covered extremely quickly in a plane.

There may be something here, but nothing provable, as far as I can tell.

For sure, the effort to look through this info is well appreciated. Keep up the good work.

I dont know if this is anything significant, but I will be watching this closely.

Can any of the ACARS automatic messages from planes be a help?

I've studied the NEADS tapes quite thoroughly, and I can say definitively that there is an innocuous explanation for flt. 11 being "picked up" by NEADS SOUTH of the WTC, AFTER the crash.

If you listen another minute on the tape, the NYC air traffic controller (the same lady who quoted the aircraft position as 40.39N 74.03W) explained that the target is "tracking coast" to which the NEADS ID operator replies, "what does that mean", and the NYC ATC says it means they've lost track on it". Well of course they have, it crashed.

When she said it was "tracking coast", she didn't mean it was following the coastline, she was referring to the radar tracking term "coast", which means, in a nutshell, when they lose radar contact w/ an aircraft, for whatever reason, the computer uses the aircraft's LAST KNOWN location, direction, and speed, to show APPROXIMATELY where the aircraft SHOULD BE. In other words, if the aircraft had not crashed, but continued on its last known course, it WOULD HAVE BEEN at 40.39N, 74.03W. This is misinterpreted by NEADS, as well as the poster of that story.

If you google "radar coast track" you'll see what I am talking about:

"A coast track (often incorrectly referred to as a “ghost track”) differs from a radar track in that it is not supported by radar returns but rather by a computer-generated, projected course for the flight."

"It takes a couple of minutes for a track to switch to a coast track, it will free track for a little bit then switch to coast, very recognizable though when it does. Where the digitized target symbol is the coast track will show a # sign, when in free track a triangle will appear over the target symbol, free tracks occur when the aircraft is outside of its flightplan limitations. When it is flat tracked it will show a diamond shape over the target."

and a 3rd example, from a a radar "international designators" webpage:
http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:ttkj8PNyU84J:www.pilotfriend.com/aer... :
"40. Coast/suspend list (aircraft holding, temporary loss of beacon/target, etc.) ......

Position symbols:

6. Free track (no flight plan tracking) [triangle symbol]

7. Flat track (flight plan tracking) [diamond symbol]

8. Coast (beacon target lost) [#]"
