True, but how about the 100 kg of high explosives strapped
in the back seat? Hmmmm, what an attack platform,


stealthy, hard to see and joy to fly. Any terrorist
would kill to use it.

Glad I did not mention the nitroglycerine in the wing tanks then ...

On a more serious note though, I do not think that the interested
parties need to learn anything from me. I am sure that the leaders are
a highly intelligent lot (if misguided, in my view) and can figure it
all out for them selves. If not, they can pickup any number of books
written by respected authors that will give them far better ideas then I
will. Meticulously researched howtos can be found in number of popular
books. Was there not a book by Tom Clancy where someone flew a 747 into
Capitol Hill?

And sorry about the rather nasty tone of my initial e-mail.

So far I haven't had any students of Middle-Eastern
appearance asking to learn how to fly gliders, but
not how to land them!

I believe that one of the 9/11 pilots told a flying
school in the States precisely that for a Boeing 757.
That surely ought to have rang a few alarm bells, as
suicide missions are the only flights where an ability
to land is not really necessary!
