Hanjour


The instructors at the airfield in Maryland said, "It was like he had
hardly even ever driven a car. He could not fly at all."

And yet, Orval Fairbairn asks us to believe that Hanjour pulled off a
stunt that would press the limits of even the most experienced aviation
test pilot.


First of all, if that maneuver would "press the limits of even the most
experienced test pilot," I would have to question both his experience
and expertise.


This is out of your league, Fairbairn, plain and simple. You're a proven
quagmirist know-it-nothing with an overblown ego and a peanut head for a
brain.

"No-one cares what you "believe", just as your beliefs about weather and
climate have been clearly shown to be ridiculous - negating any
comment you wish to make on other areas of climate science."

"If I can be bothered to show you the facts, the least you can do is to
bother to reply, before you try to spread more crap."

Your "expertise" extends to never building an LSA with a measly 80hp

Stick your head back inside Mary's drums where comfort awaits you.

OK, Sonny. You claim to be an "aeronautical engineer." I became one
probably before you were out of diapers and have been involved with
airplane, missiles and space systems for the last 50 years.

You must have flunked basic aerodynamics and certainly pilot training.

No, I haven't built an LSA, but have restored (and still flying a real
postwar classic that i have been flying for the last 40 years. plus, I
got my private in 1960 and have been flying ever since.

The kookbabble that you spew has zero basis in reality.

BTW -- my experience with data processing in the missile field tells me
that the global warmists are nothing but a bunch of charlatans who
misuse advanced data processing techniques.

Hani Hanjour, the pilot of Flight 77, was so incompetent he could not
fly a Cessna in August, but in September managed to fly a 767 at
excessive speed into a spiraling, 270-degree descent and a level impact
of the first floor of the Pentagon, on the only side that was virtually
empty and had been hardened to withstand a terrorist attack, merely
demonstrates that people can do almost anything once they set their
minds to it.

He was a rated Commercial Pilot...
That means he had well over 300 hours PIC.
