Yes, some of the terrorists took classes to learn to fly a plane.
Despite the differences in size, flying a small propeller plane and a jumbo jet is largely the same. It's like the difference between driving a small compact car, and a large SUV.
One of the flight instructors became suspicious when one of his students told him he only wanted to learn to fly the plane and didn't care about learning how to land or take off. The instructor actually called the FBI about this but they didn't take any action because they didn't have good communication with other departments. If they had, they would have realized that the student in question was actually on a federal watch list of suspected terrorists.
This is just one example of how 9/11 might have been prevented, or at least altered.
Osama bin Laden hid in caves in Afghanistan after 9/11, when the US were looking for him.
These terrorists who took over the four planes never lived in caves, they were all well educated and most came from middle class families.
A passenger jet is so easy to fly, it is child's play if you don't have to take-off or land.
These terrorists didn't need to know how to land !
What they DID need to know was how to navigate, and they learned this in flight school. They also knew how to use carpet knives, and did so in order to get into the cockpit.
A young child and I were given control of a 737 for nearly an hour, on the journey back from Sri Lanka to Germany, when the plane was on auto-pilot.
I was sat in the co-pilot's seat and a 7 year old Sri Lankan boy was sat in the pilot seat.
All you have to do is press buttons to change direction and the auto-pilot does the rest for you. You don't even need to steer, and you can also ascend or descend exactly the same way.
Changing the air-speed is simply a matter of adjusting the jet engine power, of course you must be very careful to not stall the plane.
You can also change direction by tipping a new course into the flight computer, the pilot described this to the 7 year old kid and he did this. The plane changed direction automatically, away from the Persian Gulf, northwards towards the west of Teheran in Iran.
To do any serious maneuvering you must cut out the auto-pilot, but this is just a matter of turning a switch, as this pilot showed us.
Flying a plane when it has already taken off is much easier than driving a car.
You don't have to stay on any road and there is no traffic to worry about.
I have sailed 27,000 sea miles on various sailing boats and so I already know how to navigate.
After talking with this pilot, I discovered there was practically no difference at all between navigating a plane or a boat, you simply swap water currents with air currents and the rest is identical.
And the flight computer is just a more sophisticated version of my sailing autopilots, which took only a few minutes to get used to.
Shame, after 9/11 no passenger will ever have the chance to do what that young kid I did on that flight, because the door to the cockpit on every passenger plane is now reinforced, and locked for the entire flight.
They didnt care about learning to fly a plane, they knew they were on a suicide mission. Its not like they wanted to become commercial airline pilots. Thier mission was to crash the plane. One of them gained the basic info about the controls and cockpit from the school, had the pilots do most of the flight until they got to the point of target - then he took control and crashed it while the others held the people in fear in the cabin of the plane. YES, a couple of jacked up brainwashed over enthusiastic terrorist with a dollar tree box cutter can slice through several throat in less then 5 seconds.
Come on now, use that brain the aliens gave you.
The man that lived in took over all planes with there box cutters.
They took flying lessons at a school in Florida. To fly into both towers like that took a lot of skill. I would not be surprised if a third plane was supposed to fly into tower7, but didn't make it, so they pulled it down anyway with explosives.
ANYBODY can fly a plane---once it is in the air. I can fly a plane. You just really do NOT want me to try to land one---not without a whole lot of help from the control tower. Crashing a plane into a building is as simple as driving a car into a telephone pole.
Crashing a plane is the simplest thing in the world to do. Most pilots try very hard not to.
If you peruse the facts, you shall see that the event was an "inside job".
Due diligence is needed.
The Bush family is connected to it...
Bin Ladens are friends of Bushes...
Follow the money!
*too
The men that lived in caves took over all the planes with there dollar three box cutters? How did they learn how to fly such a plane. They went to school of how to fly a plane, but it was only a school to teach you how to fly simple planes such as a small farmer plane. Nothing to complicated, as shown on tv.
