Care to list any of these many things that were wrong about the article or are you just going to be a nattering nabob?

They didn't HAVE an AWACs. It is completely possible they took over the aircraft when they got to NYC.

Yeah genius, here's one example. supposedly trained on Cessna light aircraft

Each team of hijackers included at least one man who had classroom training, individual computer based training, and training in a high fidelity flight simulator.

Any person who has received this level of simulator training could certainly fly a plane well enough to crash it into a large building.

Your buddy Colonel Donn de Grand apparently believes this less likely a scenario than his idea (based on NO evidence) that AWACs took over the planes (after the hijackers killed the pilots!) and flew them, on purpose, into these buildings.

It's apparently an NWO, Rothschild, Buildeburger conspiracy that you and your kind are spouting. Something about the Jews and global currency or something.

Twits all.

I don't suppose hours of training in a simulator count, even if they only trained in "turns", not in landing? Nor is there any mention of possible training outside the U.S. How long did they have between the failed attempt in 1993 and 9/11/01?

As for resistence, how about flight 93. And what about the numerous cell phone conversations between passenges and relatives on the ground? They don't count?

I stopped reading after paragraph 4 and here's why:

after deliberating non-stop for 72 hours,

I've tested code written during a 48 hour code marathon, it was junk. The human mind doesn't hold up well to that kind of stuff. In most people hallucinations start at around 60 hours.

flight crews of the four passenger airliners, involved in the September 11th tragedy, had no control over their aircraft.

It took them 72 hours to figure out that the crews didn't fly the planes into buildings?! Briliant deduction.

to be used as guided missiles and in the coordinated delivery of those missiles to their pre-selected targets.

a farm field in Pennsylvania was their intended target struck with "military precision"?

supposedly trained on Cessna light aircraft,

My understanding was that they had been doing simulator work on multi-engine. Simulator work is step one to doing the real thing. And if you're not going to bother to take off and land, if you're not going to take control of the plane until AFTER somebody else has trimmed it, multi-engine vs single engine just ain't that tough.

It further throws into doubt their ability to master the intricacies of the instrument flight rules (IFR)

This has two major problems. #1 they weren't flying in IFR weather and therefore didn't need to know how to do it. #2 you can get instrument rated in small aircraft.

At this juncture it becomes clear that this report is totally bogus and should only be read as a work of fiction.

Don't you ever post anything other than pure T unadulterated crap?

I'll be specific: The reference to "electro-magnetic pulse" is PURE tinfoil hattism and puts this whole thing even outside the Art Bell orbit. Who are these frothing loonies who "deliberated for 72 hours straight?" I'd be hallucinating by then too.

Well, Doc, I'm a former AF pilot with 1800 hours in "heavies". That doesn't make me an expert, and there are surely those with far more experience, etc., etc.........but I CAN tell you that this piece is utter, complete bulls**t on a host of fronts.
