I'd think that the trackmarks of other planes hitting the ground were a result of the pilots attempt to set the plane down as gently as possible. Remember, the September 11th hijackers weren't interested in setting anything down gently -- they wanted maximum destruction and death. That they hit the ground at all was a function of "pilot" error. So, if you're questioning the existence or absence of a long drag mark on the ground in Arlington, Virginia, remember that they hijackers weren't aiming for the dirt, but the Pentagon building itself.

Speaking to the whole, "Where is the plane" conspiracy:
Remember that the resulting jet fuel fire was actually the catalyst to the WTC collapse. The intense fire caused by the boiling jetfuel actually melted the building's support steel and aluminum and dropped the buildings to the ground. The same fire would have *easily* caused the plastic and aluminum honey-comb aircraft construction to vaporize. Try tossing an aluminum can in a campfire -- it WILL melt and eventually burn away entirely. So, if a campfire is hot enough to vaporize aluminum, wouldn't a furnace of jet fuel be more capable and efficient?

Campfires will actually melt glass bottles too. Any fired glass from the plane would have been indistinguishable from other glass found around the WTC rubble.
