He never said he was a pilot. The quote was "I've spent lots of time flying in the Air Force, and what I just posted is obvious to anyone who knows how to fly.

Hm. They are getting ready to show the tapes of UBL. Maybe this was a ploy to get all the world to their tv's.

I think it takes about 1800 lire to make a dollar. So 20 lire is about 1 cent.

Hey! Put me down for a piece of this action then!!!!

I don't know anything about explosions,except they are loud. I would think it would depend on the yeild as compared to the initial explosion on impact. I am waiting for the video. You know there is going to be one.

You may be right, however we just saw a live shot, and that aircraft hit almost top dead center on that structure. Not the corner, not on the edge, but almost perfectly centered on that baby.

A B-52 in 1946? That must have been a sight.

"Payne Stuart's plane and (earier) the plane carrying the East Carolina football coach flew themselves on a straight an level path with all the passengers being dead. (Of course only until they ran out of fuel.)

Sure, that was the official story...:)))

Great point about Payne Stuart's plane flying on by itself.

So which skyscraper did it hit? It didn't?

360* X 90* = A Lot Of Sky.

Skyscrapers being about .00000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of said sky.

smoke coming out of the plane before it hit

The smoke could simply be one of the engines on fire. It was a twin engine plane.

Payne Stuart's plane

Please note, however, that it crashed in a field, not dead-center into a skyscraper.

Yes, but how much terror is this going to generate, really. While the three reported deaths are sad. So far, this does not leave me shaking in my shoes, fearing the wrath of jihad.

I've spent lots of time flying in the Air Force, and what I just posted is obvious to anyone who knows how to fly.

How many hours and in what MDS?

Is there even a 20 lire coin?

I have a 5 lire and 10 lire coin from 1973, but most were useless even then. When I left in 73, the smallest coin of common usage was the 50 lire coin.

You saying you spend a lot of time flying ON AA, he said "I've spent lot of time flying in the Air Force." To me, that is a completely different statement than yours. Of course, he could clear that up by telling whether or not he is or isn't a pilot.
