And it's not like these guys didn't have flight training? They had months worth. |
According to trained, experienced pilots, the maneuvers were extraordinary, not possible with commercial airliners, though *possible* with jet fighters, and even at that with highly trained and experienced pilots.
According to all accounts, none of the pilots had any ability or experience - this from their instructors at the Florida flight schools where they "trained".
ONE of the supposed hijackers was an ex-military trained pilot. And he was supposedly not at the controls, though how they determined that is up to their magical crystal ball that determined any of the hijackers were aboard any of the flights in the first place...
