Essentially trivial
Splinx — (archived)

The F-15 figures included in my post came from USAF, NORAD and ANG spokesmen or publications, including F-15 top speed, flight time to NYC, and the rest of it, so I suggest you direct your "corrections" to them.

As well:

"(8:15 A.M.) Boston Air Traffic Control tries but fails to contact the pilots of Flight 11, even using emergency frequencies. [8:14, Guardian, 10/17/01] A Boston flight controller states of Flight 11, "He won't answer you. He's nordo roger thanks". Nordo means the transponder has been turned off. [8:15, New York Times, 10/16/01, "over the Hudson river", CNN, 9/17/01]"

source: Center for Cooperative Research, as noted.

Your trivial "corrections" are essentially irrelevant to the matter at hand.

There was plenty of time for the Otis F-15s to reach NYC in time to possibly thwart these murderous attacks had regulations been followed. That's the point.

Care to address it?
