We are not being told something VERY important.Here is a clue. You cannot imagine the complexity of piloting a twin engine turbo jet aircraft to literally take off and do loop dee loops. There is something bad wrong with this story. I am familiar with flight training— That takes YEARS! in the seat with instructors. He didn’t learn this doing flag waiving on the tarmac. What the hell was REALLY going on here? are we being lied to AGAIN?

The reports I read suggested he was a mechanic with maybe a decade of experience.

A mechanic with a real grasp of flight-line dynamics and some cheesy sim time could get a Bombadier Dash 8 off the ground and into some altitude ... JFK Jr unintentionally put a smaller Piper Saratoga twin into a similar death dive on the other coast, had a license, but only had marginally more log-hour experience with a twin turboprop.

No. You’re not being lied to. He was on a suicide mission and pushed the aircraft as hard as he could.
I’m no pretty sure they don’t teach “ loop Dee loops” to commercial airline pilots.

Not necessarily. I had a friend fly with me who told me that he had been practicing with our type of airplane on Microsoft Flight Simulator. I told him to take me for a ride and I wouldn't correct him or give him any hints unless he needed help. He took off and landed a couple times at our airport without any difficulty and then flew to a neighboring airport and landed there... all with no help from me. Our plane is simpler than a commuter plane, but the principles of flight are the same. They are the same with our hang gliders, our ultralight airplane, or our general aviation airplane as well as a much larger passenger plane.

My brother was one of the “check airmen” for a commuter airline about the same size as Horizon, before he went to work for Southwest. He gave flight training on a simulator. The airline had leased blocks of time and sometimes when he had no one coming in he would let me fly the commuter plane. It was not hard as long as you flew by the numbers. I certainly didn't try any wild maneuvers, but I have taken aerobatic training in the past and again, the basic principals are the same. I do have many years of flying behind me, but I don't know from what this clown did that it meant that he had years of advanced flight training.

According to a report he learned how to do loops on a video game. You decide if that makes sense.

We’re always being lied to. For example, last week LVPD released the 167 page report on Paddock. It is very bizarre. “They” are hiding something.

I haven’t seen anyone suggest that he took some kind of drug or had some mind-altering drug. That might help explain some things.

But I agree with your sentiments - accepting the official story at face value is not recommended. The oligarchy is beginning to censor us for a reason.
