Have recently been binge-rewatching episodes of DS9 (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) and came across an episode that got me thinking about various fictional tellings of the 911 conspiracy theme of "plane swaps / switches" and the use of dead bodies for the staging of crash events involving aircraft (spacecraft of course in this DS9 episode) ...
"Rules of Engagement" is the 90th episode of the science fiction television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the 18th episode of the fourth season. It was directed by LeVar Burton, guest starring Ron Canada as a visiting Klingon prosecutor.[1] The episode features special effect sequences with the USS Defiant and the Klingon Bird of Prey spaceships.[2]
Lt. Cdr. Worf faces an extradition hearing in which the Klingon Empire seeks to have him tried in Klingon court, charged with destroying a civilian transport.
. . .
In the end, Constable Odo's investigation uncovers evidence telling that the names of all the 441 people who were reported to have died on the transport were the same exact names of the people who were reported to have crashed on a distant planet three months prior to the battle with no survivors recovered.
Sisko concludes that the entire incident was staged by the Empire to frame Worf for the purpose of smearing the Federation. Despite having no civilian deaths on his conscience, Captain Sisko still has criticisms of mistakes Worf had made but he tells the Klingon that he will make a fine captain some day.

This was of course, well before September 11th, 2001 ... as was the similarly themed (remote controlled aircraft for false flag purposes) pilot episode of THE LONE GUNMEN. See various threads citing this example.

I also immediately remembered that post-911 episode of Cumberbatch's SHERLOCK "first broadcast on BBC One on Sunday, 1 January 2012."

He recalls the Coventry Blitz and suspects that something similar is happening. Mycroft confirms this: the US and UK governments have decided to fly an unmanned plane full of corpses so as not to alert the terrorists while avoiding casualties. However, as Sherlock unwittingly helped Adler and Moriarty crack the code, the ...

This got me wondering about other possible examples out there and the timeline for this ideas dispersion in the 911-Truth Movement...
Plane/Passenger Swap
911Review.com cites LOOSE CHANGE as suggesting Operation Northwoods / Plane Swap scenario but I think it goes back earlier (Loose Change: 1st Edition was circa 2005).

9-11 Review: Operation Northwoods
911review.com/precedent/century/northwoods.html
This distinction is lost by many 9/11 theorists who cite Northwoods' envisioning of substitutions of military aircraft for civilian jetliners as evidence of plane swapping on 9/11/01. For example, the first part of the film Loose Change highlights passages from the Northwoods documents about plane substitution, while later parts ...

Maybe it was Pod-promoter Phil Jayhan who got the ball rolling?

The 9/11 deniers - Farhad Manjoo June 27, 2006
The success of the documentary “Loose Change” spotlights the thousands of online sleuths who believe the U.S. government was behind the terror attacks — to get gold, justify war, or serve Satan.
. . .
Thus the film launches its argument by pointing to Operation Northwoods, a 1962 U.S. military proposal to drum up public support for an invasion of Cuba that included a plan for staging a Cuban shoot-down of an American passenger plane. Northwoods shows that the American government has previously contemplated military plans using "drone" aircraft painted to look like civilian planes -- an integral ingredient in the film's larger conspiracy.

United Flight 93 did not crash in Shanksville, Penn. Instead, it landed safely in Cleveland, and 200 people on board were evacuated. Avery says that the debris field in Shanksville showed nothing resembling a downed aircraft, that neither plane parts nor passenger remains were visible at the scene. The movie cites reports of an airplane landing at the Cleveland Hopkins Airport on the morning of 9/11, and in a tangle of logic deduces that, actually, two planes landed there and that one of them was Flight 93. Including hijackers and crew, the official story says that there were 44 people on board Flight 93 when it crashed, but Avery alleges that about 200 people were taken off the plane in Cleveland. He suggests that in addition to Flight 93's passengers, these 200 people included the passengers of the flights alleged to have crashed into the Pentagon and the trade towers. Avery says, cryptically: "It's interesting to note that the combined total of all the passengers from all four flights is 198. Or 243. Depending on who you ask."
. . .
Hoffman and other "Loose Change" debunkers offer an even more devastating critique of the movie's strange claim that Flight 93 ended up in Cleveland. Avery bases his Cleveland idea on a story posted on the Web site of WCPO, a local TV station in Cincinnati, on the morning of 9/11; Avery says that the report proves that "two planes landed at Cleveland Hopkins Airport due to a bomb threat," and that "United Airlines identified one of the planes as Flight 93." It turns out that Avery is right that WCPO reported this news on its Web site -- but the story was actually authored by the Associated Press wire service, and the AP corrected the news minutes after it was posted, as WCPO has explained. (You'll recall that false media reports were widespread during that morning's hysteria.)

Rebeka Roth also included plane swapping in her story... starting in 2013 I think.

Can anyone thing of any other fictional film, book, tv references to this plane/corpse swapping theme?
