Would one expect GA schools to act responsibly and admit their failure to
provide adequate security previous to 9/11?
Come on, Sky-buffoon... Who could have ever imagined airliners being
used in such an insidious and evil way before 9/11?
Not wanting to give Skylune further ammunition (really, it's irrelevant
where the terrorists trained - it included *airline* training in airline
sims, too) - actually, there have been attempts to use airliners in this
way in the past. The most notable attempt was a FedEx DC-10 in 1994,
where a disgruntled worker who was going to be fired attempted to kill
all three crew members and crash the plane into FedEx headquarters.
