the 757 hitting the Pentagon on 9/11/01:

I understand where you're coming from in this, and I grasp the
significance of trying to prove a negative. The landing gear is but
one piece of the puzzle. If the aircraft that impacted the building
WAS, in fact, a 757, how could the landing gear be retracted when the
automatic, onboard system puts the landing gear down without input
from the cockpit? A good question to ask is this: "Can the landing
gear be retracted manually?"

I didn't know that the 757 extended its gear automatically. I see
this assertion all over the conspiracy websites, but I've never see it
anywhere else.

Does the 757 drop its gear automatically? If so, would it do so at
cruise power 10 feet off the ground?

It does not.
