Uhhh? Not much need for a guy on the scope at the Pentagon.

Interesting, I worked in the "understructures" of the Pentagon and I
never saw
an "ATC room". It amazes me the myths surrounding that building...

Or how some things got so mundane. I can remember more than once turning
too soon, and have a fairly bored guard say "no, this is the back
entrance to the National Military Command Center [1]. The Army Map Depot
is the next corridor down, on the left."

[1] Technically the National Military Intelligence Center at that level.


would have been intercepted at
supersonic speeds within a max of 9 minutes by a Fighter out of Andrews.

Maybe in 1958, but certainly not in 2001.

In either case, with how much fuel after a supersonic intercept? And
just how did a presumed Soviet get there from the north?
