Assuming you're talking about the 9/11 pilots, I think they didn't even want to learn how to take off, but only fly the plane.
It was just a conversation between two Democrats.
I wonder if he was yelling “Yee Ha A Snackbar!” as he was fying into the ground?
No terror connections here folks - simple case of classroom violence....
All the guys on FR are hoping for her to turn around ;-)
I suppose they struck the street instead of a building because Achmed and the instructor were fighting for control.
Confused jihadi dies on practise run?
The good news is that Rentschler Field was untouched—so the UConn Huskies can continue to muddle through another mediocre season. :-)
Our “leaders” are crooked, integrity-free criminals and traitors. Great...just great...
Thank goodness the instructor survived!
Glad the instructor survived. Hope he does so for his own sake, but he will definitely have a story to tell.
The cops and politicians won’t, that’s for sure.
I live in East Hartford and not far from had happened. This has left me on edge.
When politicians ignore the laws that protect the people, we the people are no longer obligated to obey the laws that protect politicians....
Vote For Donald J. Trump and Gov. Mike Pence on November 8th!
” I can’t think of a reason why you’d cut the engines if you were going to crash intentionally.”
The way you make a small plane go down is to cut the throttle.. True with any plane really, but for a small plane it is harder to dive with the engine revved up. Also if you do that at low altitude there is little to no chance anyone else can both ‘pull up’ and also get the engine spun back up in time to not crash.
Don’t these darn terrorist know that the election is only one month away? This could really mess things up for Old Hill
Yet another typical moozlum. Kill...kill....kill. Rot in pig guts, loser.
Do you think they were headed to Pratt?
That was my first thought.
Good thing they didn’t land on *Good Olde Tom’s* ...a crash and grab.
