control or for planes to be able to land themselves in the event of an emergency or hijacking. In
regards to such technology, president Bush said: “new technology, probably far in the future,
allowing air traffic controllers to land distressed planes by remote control.”

“Chris Yates, an
aviation-security expert at Jane's Defense Weekly” agreed with President Bush. He said such
technology belongs 'in the realms of science fiction'.” Robert Ayling, a former boss of British
Airways was quoted in the Financial Times suggesting the development of such technology but
he cautioned that remote-control systems themselves might be a means of hijacking a plane.

Why would many people including military experts suggest that the hijacked planes were
remote controlled on 9/11 if such technology doesn't exist? Because the President is a liar and
military experts advancing his lies are part of the cover-up! On April 15, 2001, The Washington
Post reported, “the Pentagon has been experimenting with pilotless planes for half a century,
advances in technology have only recently made it feasible to use them to attack opponents. And
with a Bush administration looking to redirect military spending into more futuristic weapons
systems, unmanned combat aircraft are expected to be one of the big winners.” They further
reported that within a few weeks “an unmanned airplane the size of a small Cessna will shoot a
missile at a tank on a Nevada test range, blasting the Air Force toward a future in which some of
its most dangerous missions could be carried out by robots.”

Earlier in April of 2001 the Seattle Times reported that the US had successfully tested a
remote controlled plane that was as big as a U-2 spy plane which is about the size of a Boeing
737. The test was part of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and seeks
“to design and test an unmanned fighter for the Air Force.” The Times wrote:
The most sophisticated unmanned aircraft flying today is Northrop
Grumman's Global Hawk, an Air Force reconnaissance plane that's as big as a U-
2 but has a bulbous white nose in place of a crew cabin. A Global Hawk flew last
year from Florida to Portugal and back, monitored by a technician sitting in a
trailer in southwestern Virginia. Soon another Global Hawk will fly to
Australia.
1773
In August the Global Hawk successfully flew the 8,600 miles from Edwards Air Force
Base in California to Australia. This was an unmanned flight. While in Australia the Global
Hawk was scheduled to fly 12 reconnaissance missions.

On August 25, 2001 startling advances were accomplished in tests by Raytheon at
Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico. Raytheon is developing the Department of Defense's
joint precision approach and landing system (JPALS) for the US Air Force. JPALS is a satellite-
based precision approach and landing system that will eventually allow jet planes to land
themselves. JPALS “ is being developed to meet the Defense Department's need for an anti-jam,
secure, all weather aircraft landing system that will be fully interoperable with planned civil
systems using the same technology.” It will eventually “consist of modular avionics and ground
components that provide a range of capabilities to meet mission needs in fixed base, tactical, and
special mission environments.”
As of August 2001, there had been 120 test approaches conducted using JPALS. On
