The 767 pilot who talked to the Boston Globe similarly said hitting the Pentagon would have been "extremely difficult." He added, "One degree off and [the pilot] either overshoots it or undershoots it." Gary Eitel, an experienced military pilot, said that "the maneuver performed by Flight 77, as described in official reports, was beyond the capabilities of 90 percent of even the best and most experienced pilots in the world." Eitel said that "he was amazed by the piloting skill used to steer Flight 175 into the second tower. Flight 77 boggled his mind."

And so did these hijackers have that skill level is the next logical question ?

This question makes you think, because we know these guys had no experience flying major airline planes and had trained only in tiny planes.
From the point of view flying a plane like cruise missile only a few feet above the ground at such a velocity without hitting the ground and bouncing seems impossible for pilot that has never flown one of these planes.
Thoughts?

Looking at the animation of the flight recreated from the flight data recorder the pilot of Flight 77 was really struggling. It was all over the place

Maybe Zaphod can shine more light on this but those SOB's took flying lessons in small aircraft and then took time in Airliner simulators, that's when one of them was reported to the feds (mossaui) and detained, once you have an aircraft trimmed you can fly it into anything you want, it's not rocket science.
