yet we are expected to believe that they not ONLY flew high tech passenger airliners but also put them through manouvers that highly trained and experienced figher AND passenger jet pilots have gone on record saying that THEY could not fly in this manner,
OHG, I am assuming that we may have watched the same TV documentary as I have not gone out of my way to find anything and everything on the subject to watch.
My recollection of that program is, according to the flight trainer “they, the handful of terrorists who went to his training school were only ever interested in learning how to take off a commercial airplane”.
I remember at the time I was thinking the son of a gun was only interested in making money instead of asking questions why they are insisting on learning specific aspects of flying.
I don’t know where the “single engine light aircraft” came from but then again there was more than a handful who were being trained to fly. Or, is it possible that they may have started with a light aircraft before moving on to a commercial airplane somewhere else?
nah one of them was reported to the CIA or FBI forget which BECAUSE he only wanted to learn the flying bit and wasnt interested in the take off n landing part, the "officials" took no action I believe,
another one asked about renting a light aircraft and said he had a pilots licence, but the plane rental people insisted on putting him through a "test" flight, they said he couldnt fly for sh1t and refused to rent him a plane,
another one was kicked off a pilot training course cause he was crap, and it WAS only ever single engined light aircraft,
this, of course is only "stuff" I have read or watched on the interweb,
but the video I have linked to IS VERY interesting, must admit I am watching it in bits, with stops for a brew n a ciggy
oh and as an aside, a big to the mods, cause everytime THIS topic came up on the "other" BB fourm it didnt last long
