It is doubtful that the best trained fighter pilots could have executed
the maneuver that supposedly crashed a 757 into the Pentagon. It
required making a tight 320-degree turn while descending seven thousand
feet, then leveling out so as to fly low enough over the highway just
west of the Pentagon to knock down lamp posts. After crossing the
highway the pilot had to take the plane to within inches of the ground
so as to crash into the Pentagon at the first-floor level and at such a
shallow angle that an engine penetrated three rings of the building,
while managing to avoid touching the lawn. And he had to do all of this
while flying over 400 mph. Quite a feat for a flight school flunky who
had never sat in the cockpit of a jet!
(Un)True?
It was a Rate One descending turn through 270 degrees.
A flight maneouver carried out by any trainee pilot with the third
lesson Turns...
And the hijacker/suicide pilot had a Commercial Pilots License.
So he had at least 300 hours as Pilot in Command
