In an official 9/11 investigation document, it states that American 77’s tail number was N5BP, instead of N644AA.

The tail number N5BP is not assigned to a Boeing 757. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) aircraft registry.
The registration N5BP is assigned to a Beech 58P Baron registered to Tippettsolutions LLC.
Here are the aircraft details for tail number N5BP:
Manufacturer: Beech
Model: 58P (a fixed-wing multi-engine piston aircraft)
Status: Valid registration, issued May 20, 2021, and expiring May 31, 2028
Registered Owner: Tippettsolutions LLC, based in Fort Mill, South Carolina

How did American 77’s tail number N644AA get mistaken for N5BP?
It leads me to ask the question: Was this the other aircraft which pushed-back from Gate D19 or D21, which caused the conflicting INS positional data discrepancy, which I spoke about in this article?

Wow I always learn something new when I read one of your articles x fascinating as always x
For what ever reason that's what they put in the BTS data. I tracked that tail number and plane all the way back to September 6th, with the Flight number.
