Caustic Logic
 
I'd still wonder why it took ten-minutes plus to see... So where do we stand here?


I don't know where we stand exactly. Woody Box mis-read what the 9/11 Commission said and tried to use that as proof that they lied. I'm a little lost myself on the ''NTSB vs. NORAD'' statement.

Washington Center is an ARTCC, Dulles is an airport inside the airspace that they control. Washington Center controls all of the departures and arrivals from these airports:
KBWI - Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall
KDCA - Ronald Reagan Washington National
KIAD - Washington Dulles International
KACY - Atlantic City International
KFAY - Fayetteville Regional
KORF - Norfolk International
KROA - Roanoke Regional
KRDU - Raleigh-Durham International
KRIC - Richmond International
KCHO - Charlottesville Albemarle
KHEF - Manassas Regional
KMRB - Eastern West Virginia Regional
KMTN - Martin State
KILM - Wilmington International
KDOV - Dover Airforce Base
KADW - Andrews Airforce Base
KLFI - Langley Airforce Base
KNTU - Naval Air Station Oceana
KNKT - Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point

Dulles is as an airport and their radar is probably not as strong as Washington Center's because they are only concerned with the traffic in the area of the airport and not across several states. That might explain why Flight 77 got so close before it was detected.
