66. No.

Radar did not show that Flight 77 did a downward spiral.

That version would appear to rely entirely upon the testimony of the pilot of the C130. The sufficiently definite eye witness reports that I found referred only to only to a B757 approaching low from the south west. Air traffic controllers saw nothing more than an unidentified blip that they'd thought was a military plane.

Re the impact you seem to have already seen the proof. The fault is in your lack of analysis.

Don't take my word for it. Work out for yourself the distance between the corner of the steam vault that was hit and the scrape mark across the top of the electricity generator. This is done easily enough. The dimensions of the Pentagon, hence the surrounding objects are published. Please also note the serious damage to the end of the generator and the fence around it, which would therefore precisely locate the starboard engine nacelle. Then compare those distances with the dimensions of the corresponding parts of a B757. It is also possible to discern the exact point (above the building's entrance behind the generator) where the starboard wing tip hit the building.

Alternatively, find your way to the presentations of Pierre Demoulins. He used to believe that a B737 hit the building. Then I invited him to estimate the said dimensions. Now he appears to accept that the engines of a B737 would not have been far enough apart to have straddled the relatively undisturbed cable spools.
