I am struggling to see the importance being attached to this either.
Imagine it from the perspective
of a small faction of hypothetical conspirators within the military industrial complex seeking to co-opt and redirect some drills. After all, all you'd have to imagine is the same thing that usually happens when nations want to go to war with each other and so forth.
They "drill" right next to each other and then it might happen by happenstance to go live more and more and so forth. The same thing that sometimes happens in coups and assassination attempts,
where continuity of government drills and so forth go live. Or perhaps they don't go live, if someone lives. Bummer.
From the perspective of a small faction making use of or following standard operating procedures and flow charts within a MIC and so forth, it would be important to have a command center from which they would know what contingency plans to follow and flow along their flow charts within any
"con... highly organized plot." What's the difference between a conspiracy, a highly organized plot or a training exercise or drill that everyone conspires to bring about but only the little all seeing eye at the top sees from a "big picture" perspective... again?
In any event, who was on that plane? And from the perspective of those in "the base" or deep down in da bunker mode, why does everything always supposedly need to be highly classified? From your perspective it's all for your own good and the health, wealth and safety of your family... and to protect you from Al Qaeda/"the base" over there in Syria and so forth, I'd imagine.
Seriously, though.
Not know the protocols involved in a situation like this, and not knowing whether the aircraft was simply on a training mission when the terrorists hit, I think it is drawing a long bow to infer anything out of the ordinary at all.
From the perspective of conspirators, it might be important to have training missions and drills to hide their actions in. As usual. Otherwise people who are patriotic and don't understand a more psychopathic/geopolitical perspective might wonder: "Uh, exactly what the hell is going on here?"
Sort of like patriotic CIA agents in Benghazi that don't get the memo not to get a little too patriotic about things... for hour after agonizing hour, I'd imagine. If only the memo from their chain of command of the geopolitical Psychopaths Inc. closer to the top would have gotten to them with respect to the proper attitude to have about their fellow Americans, huh? Shrug. It would probably be a conspiracy theory to mention
that the preening peacock Petraeus attended Bilderberg after Benghazi and the failure of that "911" to replace Obama* with Romney and the Masons/Mormons. So, back to da bunker?
*Sometimes
puppets want to be real boys, it would seem. Too bad Bush didn't want that, judging by his reaction to his own 911. He probably
took the advice of his dad.
Wasn't there an Air Defence Exercise being held that day?
Yes, there were many drills and so forth:

The military exercises (
war games) planned for September 11, 2001 included:
- Global Guardian, an annual command-level exercise organized by United States Strategic Command in cooperation with Space Command and NORAD. Primary purpose is to test and validate nuclear command and control and execution procedures. Global Guardian is performed in conjunction with NORAD's Vigilant Guardian and Amalgam Warrior, as well as exercises sponsored by Air Combat Command (Crown Vigilance) and Space Command (Apollo Guardian).[3][4]
Vigilant Guardian, the semiannual NORAD exercise that had been running in conjunction with
Global Guardian for several days and which postulated a bomber attack from the former Soviet Union.
Vigilant Guardian is a Command Post Exercise (CPX), meaning it is conducted in offices and with computers, but without actual planes in the air. The exercise involves all NORAD command levels.
[5]Out of a range of scenarios being run on September 11, 2001, one was a "traditional" simulated hijacking. [....]
Aside from military exercises, a
National Reconnaissance Office drill was being conducted on September 11, 2001. In a simulated event, a small aircraft would crash into one of the towers of the agency's headquarters after experiencing a mechanical failure. The NRO is the branch of the Department of Defense in charge of spy satellites. According to its spokesman Art Haubold: "No actual plane was to be involved -- to simulate the damage from the crash, some stairwells and exits were to be closed off, forcing employees to find other ways to evacuate the building." He further explained: "It was just an incredible coincidence that this happened to involve an aircraft crashing into our facility, as soon as the real world events began, we canceled the exercise." Most of the agency's personnel were sent home after the attacks. --Wikipedia
If there was an element of a more nefarious (at least, from some perspectives) geopolitical conspiracy to the highly organized plots of 911, at least emergency workers and so forth were allowed to be there on time:

September 10, 2001: FEMA Representatives Arrive in New York, Ready for Training Exercise
Personnel from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) arrive in New York for a forthcoming training exercise and, as a result, their equipment is available to be used by members of the New York Police Department's Emergency Service Unit (ESU) who are involved in search and rescue operations at Ground Zero the following day.

That's Al Qaeda/"the base" or happenstance for you, happening by happenstance to attack on the day of drills so that the emergency workers happened to be
there and so forth. Too bad about most counter terrorism agents being halfway across the country and so forth by coincidence too, though.
If so wouldn't this aircraft be involved in that? If F-15's were being vectored towards Washington, wouldn't that also be a good place to send it once they realised what was happening?
F-15s weren't being vectored to D.C., as far as I know.
In fact... in some cases, they weren't being vectored anywhere at all. Not even in the general direction of a person playing the part of a President that was left to read about pet goats:

(10:15 a.m.) September 11, 2001: 1st Fighter Wing Cannot Assist NORAD as It Has Been Told to Stand By
Logo of the 1st Fighter Wing.
[Source: US Air Force]
The 1st Fighter Wing at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, notifies NORAD's Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS) that it is unable to provide fighter jets to escort the president's plane, Air Force One, because a lieutenant general at the Air Combat Command (ACC) has instructed the wing to stand by. [
Spencer, 2008, pp. 239-240] The White House has requested a fighter escort for Air Force One (see
9:59 a.m. September 11, 2001), and officers at the headquarters of the Continental US NORAD Region in Florida have been calling around to find any available jets that might be able to provide that escort, irrespective of what branch of the military they belong to. [

Wing Told to Stand By - As a result, a colonel from the 1st Fighter Wing now calls NEADS. He says that although his unit would love to help, the lieutenant general at ACC has told it to stand by, as, technically, the wing belongs to ACC, not NORAD.

Are those clowns from the CIA again... just in time for a circus act where some network nodes within the chain of command seem to turn into bumbling fools?
I'm not sure when the mystery plane took off. Maybe there was a training exercise to have it in the air, yet apparently there wasn't a drill to have more F-15s in the air? Instead: "Hang on, we have to get rid of enough fuel to land... why does it seem like we're caught in a circus act today? Today, of all days! Just give me a plane to shoot down, here. No, not the simulations and the phantoms... where are the real ones?"
Perhaps it seems like you're caught in a circus act and a simulation in which you're chasing phantom planes sometimes due to a lack of imagination with respect to your chains* of command.
But that's probably just me and my imagination, in theory.
*Look at it this way, at least you're not wearing a big stop sign your head like the "police men" incorporated into the polis usually have to. There again, that's probably all been changed to militaristic SWAT Team gear by now? Symbolism is dead, long live symbolism... watch for it, as it seems bound to emerge from the occult/hidden again.
