19. Easy to track
"This plane had IFF - it was easy to track and find. It was not like 911."

Why weren't AA 11, UA 175 and UA 93 easy to track on 9/11?

Your general statement:
"There is no evidence of intercepts over land"
is clearly wrong.

You demand many details about the intercepts. I'd be happy to provide you with them if you can show me where I can find in general details of NORAD intercepts. The details you ask for aren't covered in the few article in the press.

Btw there are other intercepts prior to 9/11:
eg Larry Morris in 1988.
Thomas Root

And how do you explain this:
"Until Sept. 11, NORAD was expected to defend the United States and Canada from aircraft based elsewhere. After the attacks, that responsibility broadened to include flights that originated in the two countries.
But there were exceptions in the early drills, including one operation, planned in July 2001 and conducted later, that involved planes from airports in Utah and Washington state that were "hijacked." Those planes were escorted by U.S. and Canadian aircraft to airfields in British Columbia and Alaska."
