"The hijackers had extensive training on the 767, and could definitely change course and fly to a specific location."
So tell me Stu who gave the hijackers the experience in flying 767's?
The following is typical of what is to be found on the internet:
"In the days after 9/11, numerous pilots and aviation experts commented on the elaborate maneuvers performed by the aircraft in the terrorist attacks, and the advanced skills that would have been necessary to navigate those aircraft into their targets. The men flying the planes must have been "highly skilled pilots" and "extremely knowledgeable and capable aviators," who were "probably military trained," these experts said.
And yet the four alleged hijackers who were supposedly flying the aircraft were amateur pilots, who had learned to fly in small propeller planes, and were described by their instructors as having had only "average" or even "very poor" piloting skills. But on their first attempt at flying jet aircraft, on September 11, 2001, these men were supposedly able to fly Boeing 757s and 767s at altitudes of tens of thousands of feet, without any assistance from air traffic control. Three of them were apparently able to successfully navigate their planes all the way to the intended targets, which they hit with pinpoint accuracy.
For such poor pilots to carry out such skilled flying would surely have been extremely unlikely, perhaps impossible. And yet this is what is claimed in the official account of 9/11." 911blogger.com/news/2011-07-12/911-hijackers-amateur-aviators-who-became-super-pilots-september-11
My Godmother's son took a number of years flying light aircraft before acceptance into Qantas as a pilot...probably took him a good 5 or so years to gain entry after finishing high school.
Unless people can pay to learn how to fly 767's, and I've never heard of any, then tell me where and how these hijackers gained their "extensive training on the 767".
By the way that site you recommended reads like a disinformation site.
Timeline for Atta's flying lessons started in April, 1999 when he attended ultralite flying lessons in the Philippines. He returned in October and December, 1999 for more lessons.
Alshehhi arrives in US 29th May, 2000 and Atta arrives soon afterward, followed by Jarrah late June. Flying lessons in single engine aircraft take place between July and December,2000.
Atta and fellow hijacker Alshehhi move to Coral Springs, Florida where they train on a flight simulator 29 -31 December, 2000.
"Although the Hamburg trio did not fly jet planes or airliners, in December 2000, Atta and al.-Shehhi had three hours apiece of training on a jet aircraft simulator in Opa-Locka, Florida and purchased flight deck videos for Boeing jetliners. (Jeddah had no known training on jet simulators or aircraft).
In late August, Jarrah bought Global positioning equipment and cockpit schematics for Being 757s. Atta bought a first class ticket on Flight 11; al.-Shehhi bought a first class ticket on flight 175 and Jarrah bought a first class ticket on Flight 93." www.edwardjayepstein.com/nether_WWDK5.htm
Three hours on a simulator is not "extensive training". There is a reason as to why pilots are so well paid, and it isn't the hours they work.
