Very interesting. My thoughts:

You know the difference in the wheels-off times of UA 93.

The official wheels-off time is 8:42.

The wheels-off time according to the BTS is 8:28.

The BTS links plane N591A to the 8:28 plane (i.e. it's the same plane). Its gate departure was 8:01, and nothing unusually happened. Very likely it carried passengers, but no controller seemed to notice its departure. Anyway, we don't know what happened to the plane and its passengers, but now we know that the plane survived.

The 8:42 jet is the one who sent the transponder data, so he obviously was supposed to create a wrong track. No hijacking aboard this plane.

We must discuss this. ;-)
