Follow the Simulators

WE KNOW THREE THINGS about the terror strike.

First, we know the planes were hijacked.

Second, we know that the hijackers, not American and United pilots at gunpoint, piloted the planes into the building.

We know this because it is extraordinarily unlikely that any one pilot could be convinced to fly into a building;  facing death, at the last minute, the pilot would crash elsewhere.  The probability of even three of four pilots executing such a maneuver is extraordinarily remote.  No well-planned operation would rely on forcing American and United pilots to do so, and the operation was obviously well-planned. 

Third, we know that the planes that crashed were Boeing 757's and 767's. These planes are technological cousins and have the same cockpit;  a pilot trained on one can fly the other.  Their pilots are trained on the same flight simulator.

Therefore, we know that the suicide pilots were trained to fly on B757 / B767 simulators.

There are only about 100 such simulators in the world.  They cost millions to buy.  They require exquisitely sensitive maintenance.  They are, in short, relatively easy to trace.

One of these simulators has been placed into the effective service of a terrorist organization.  Find the simulator and you will find who is behind the terror strike.

Robert Locke is a former executive at a major US airline. He was out of town at the time of the attack.

You might check the flight simulator at Daytona Beach.

I heard... and Oklahoma

According to an eyewitness report I heard on the news, the plane that crashed into the Pentagon actually hit the ground first and skidded into the building. Since I can't think why a kamikaze would do such a thing, my only guess is that the pilot didn't know how to visually judge ground clearance on the large aircraft.

I would add: check out all overseas airlines that fly similiar equipment.....anyhow, they have found a car in Boston with flight manuals inside...I heard that the car has Canadian tags........
