Commander Kolstad is especially critical of the account of American
Airlines Flight 77 that allegedly crashed into the Pentagon. He says,
At the Pentagon, the pilot of the Boeing 757 did quite a feat of
flying. I have 6,000 hours of flight time in Boeing 757's and 767's
and I could not have flown it the way the flight path was described.

Military and airline pilots are not taught (or used to) flying suicide dive
bomber flight paths.

Sounds like Commander Kolstad can't differentiate between was he WOULDN'T do
and what he COULD do.

Or shouldn't. Does a suicide hijacker care if he overstresses an
airframe?
