I am no pilot, but the dives he was in and rolled out of seemed a little above the “Flight Simulator” grade of flying.

Can a pilot give us a sense of that?

This whole thing sounds fishy.

Being a 30-year flight instructor and one of the guys that wrote "Flight Simulator," I'd say it is entirely possible "Rich" could have picked up sufficient flying skills with the product (and later follow-ons) to do what he did that I've seen in the news.

He'd be following in the footsteps of Mathias Rust flying into Red Square, the guy that flew a Cessna onto the White House grounds, the Bishop/Bishara kid in Texas that flew into a building and the mysterious MH370 pilot, among others.

(My conscience is clear regarding 9/11, however.)
