a point they bring up on the trueanon episode about this is that the official story isn't that believable. the guy who supposedly flew the plane that day (hani hanjour) kept failing exams for flight school and his instructors reported him to the FAA multiple times later recalling that "he could not fly at all."

but on 9/11 he gets in an unfamiliar plane, flies it to arlington, and then executes a tight 330 degree corkscrew down thousands of feet to smash exactly into the target face of the building at 850kph

idk, something seems fishy about that

I could teach you how to do that in 20 minutes in X-Plane 6.0

later recalling that "he could not fly at all."

The procedures and techniques necessary to safely and legally operate a commercial aircraft as well as to be considered "able to fly at all" by pilot instructors are far harder than flying into the twin towers

Yeah and the actual pilots got the hard parts out of the way, of starting up the plane, navigating the airport, communicating with ATC, and taking off. "he could not fly at all" means jack shit when the goal is to crash the plane

If anything, being unable to fly is exactly why the plane crashed
