Along with the amount of experienced pilots have have stated it could not be done with the amount of hours the hijackers had.
But again, you've decided to disregard other pilots who say it was possible for them to perform those manuevers and also the fact that they could have had limitless hours using their own computer flight simulators.

Well i do believe it was more the luck to get 3 planes on target doing some pretty experienced flying.

I do not think even Allah could have helped that much.

Well a computer must have been flying Flight 77 becasue a novice pilot is not going to make a 360 degree turn with no corrections and come out lined up with a building.
Also i believe the Flight Data Recorder did state that the plane was on autopilot at least 90% of the flight.

Plus like I said before, there are many experienced pilots that say they could have done it with their level of experience.

Yes but more pilots and more evidence is against them doing it.

Have you considered that perhaps he had to make a 360 degree turn because he was not lined up on the first pass, thus proving his inexperience?

Oh please, that is the most BS argument. A flight simulator is nothing like flying a real plane, the Pentagon is small when your flying a plane the size of a 757 at 500 mph. The building is only about 80 feet high.

Not according the FDR, he was already pretty well lined upwith the building.
The fact that he did not have to make any adjustments during that kind of turn and come out lined up with the building is amazing.

He had just enough time to get his license, he was not an experienced pilot.
Not experienced enough to pull of the type of maneuvers he was doing.

That is incorrect.
In addition to his private pilot's license, he had a commercial certificate, and had a multi-engine rating. (Both of which requiring many more hours than a private) He was experienced enough to demonstrate all maneuvers necessary for those ratings to a FAA flight examiner. Bringing a plane in for a good landing requires far more skill than running it into a building.

Again i will state he had just enough time to get his ratings, he was not an experienced pilot by any means. He was not an experiened airline pilot.

I believe he might have had about 100 hours. I will have to dig through my information.
