Operation Northwoods:

http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20010430/northwoods.pdf

'Accidentally' released during a FOIA request by an insider within the Security State just months prior to the propaganda spectacle of 9/11, Operation Northwoods details a 1962 plot that made it all the way through the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and was only held back by soon-to-be assassinated President Kennedy.

The plan detailed blowing up American commercial passenger airliner with college students or missionaries and US military boats, theater bombings, a real terror campaign in Washington DC and Florida, and other false-flag black ops. The original document can be viewed online at the National Archives.

Page 136 of file (page 5 of actual Joint Chiefs report):

"This plan ... would provide adequate justification for US military intervention. Such a plan would enable a logical build-up of incidents to be combined with other seemingly unrelated events to camouflage the ultimate objective."

Page 141 of file (page 10 of actual Joint Chiefs report):

"It is possible to create an incident which will demonstrate convincingly that a Cuban aircraft has attacked and shot down a chartered civil airliner enroute from the United States. The destination would be chosen only to cause the flight plan to cross Cuba. The passengers could be a group of college students off on a holiday.

An aircraft at Eglin AFB would be painted and numbered as an exact duplicate for a civil registered aircraft belonging to a CIA proprietary organization in the Miami area. At the designated time the duplicate would be substituted for the actual civil aircraft and would be loaded with selected passengers, all boarded under carefully prepared aliases. The actual aircraft would be converted to a drone.

...The drone aircraft ... will continue to fly the filed flight plan. When over Cuba the drone will be transmitting on the international distress frequency a "MAY DAY" message stating he is under attack by Cuban MIG aircraft. The transmission will be interrupted by destruction of the aircraft which will be triggered by radio signal."
